Let’s talk about the Founders
They are multi award-winning producer Vikram Gudi and composer Richard Schrieber, the duo have made music for Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon Studios, Warner Bros, Fox Searchlight, HBO, Activision, Google, IBM and Mercedes Benz. The duo’s 10-year successful relationship includes 100s of placements in the industry for Captain America, Glass, Blade Runner 2049 and Call of Duty.
Schrieber comments: “The problem with most music schools is that they don’t teach anything about mindset. There is often a lack of real-world projects, with no direct or tangible professional opportunities to match an individual’s initial investment.” 
Protege co-founder, Vikram Gudi, is also the co-founder of Split Music, and founder of Mammoth Audio and Elephant Music, which has many high-profile placements including A Quiet Place 2, Morbius and Apple TV’s The Banker. So with this duo you can consider yourself in good hands.
What’s great about Protege and its course?
Protege teaches entrepreneurialism and essential music skills, with direct weekly feedback on tracks. Each year the course will be tailored to fit the demands of the industry. This ensures students will only ever learn what is relevant, making it more likely to place their music. Budding composers and producers have the chance to gain access to the duo’s industry network to further a pupil’s success in achieving TV and film placements, which is unique for music production schools. The pupils will have weekly industry briefs and every brief will have a specific set of learning objectives and will be supported by its own course and workbook. The pupils will be given the chance to respond to any given feedback and the tracks will be produced and finished with Schrieber and Gudi. 
What’s the outcome?
Composers will be granted direct access to publishers, labels and libraries, and their completed compositions will be sent directly to the biggest names in the trailer, film, TV and gaming industries. Upon completion, the students will have a high quality and varied portfolio of at least 30 pitch-ready tracks, real world experience working directly with a music library, a certificate and an invitation to join the Protege and Elephant Music creative Family.
