nickfro10@sbcglobal.net asked:


I’ve always been REAL interested in making hip hop beats…. i’m a huge fan of hip hop and i think it would be awesome to be a producer. I was wondering if there are colleges (specifically in the Cleveland, Ohio area) that offer courses on music production? What would be my best bet on getting into the hip hop production career? Taking classes or just buying equipment and reading books or what not? Thanks!

Yes, the clip is full of shameless plugs to this site, but I’m just a poor college student who’s trying to get by. Anyways, here’s the piano sheet music notes and piano roll notation. Hope you like it.

If this helps you, please go on Youtube and give this video a good rating! Thanks.
