Course Description
The instruction is music based. Therefore there are always audio examples (there is also a lesson that will help you develop your hearing skills with audio clips you can download). We use a Digital Audio Workstation so that you can immediately put into practice the concepts expressed in some of the lessons, ending up making music (better) rather than just hearing someone talk about it. Furthermore, if you wanted to, you will be able to use the DAW (within the licensed time period) to exercise some sound engineering routines by yourself independently from the course.
The course is very practical and the terminology is not overly technical (again do not assume that this is a shortfall, as often seasoned engineers have learned a great deal from the course approach and teachings). At the end of the course, you will be able to plan a sound production, choose well-suited equipment, set up a PA, and with practice, mix a production/song (live or in your home studio)."Ears before gear": is a sentence I coined to embody the idea that the most important piece of equipment to achieve great sound is the engineer. Ultimately great gear will sound poorly if the engineer cannot use it well. The opposite is also true that average gear in the right hands will sound great. This mindset is thematic across the entire course.

Timoteo Alicino
With more than 3 decades of experience in event management on 3 continents, Timoteo Alicino is an invaluable source of knowledge, reliability and insight. He has made it his goal to ensure that the productions (albums and live events) that saw his involvement not only happened, but were a great success. He not only understands the complexity of sound engineering but he also fully grasps other important concepts: from budget constrains to working with volunteers. Even though he is used to working with world-class musicians and equipment, he functions exceptionally well within other contexts.
Born and raised in Italy, Timoteo started off an illustrious career as producer and musical director with the production Breath of Heaven, which toured through his home country in 1994. Prior to that, he worked as a vocalist on national and international concerts, including the March for Jesus event in Italy and the International Christian Arts Seminar in De Bron, Netherlands. His work also included sound engineering on major rallies for international evangelists and ministers from as early as 1988.
In 1995, he joined All Good Gifts International, a South African worship ministry. He was soon appointed as Director of Operations, and worked as tour manager and technical director for all their appointments and tours, and engineered all live music events up until July 2004. He devised a course on Sound Engineering called The Sound Kitchen, and has presented this at various seminars and
