Music institute opens in Beatles' Abbey Road Studios
Students around the world can learn music production and sound engineering in the footsteps of the Fab Four
Beatles fans are being offered the chance to follow in the footsteps of the Fab Four after Abbey Road Studios announced that it is launching its own educational institute.
Students aged 18 and over from around the world will be able to study for a 12-month advanced diploma in music production and sound engineering at the institute, which will be housed in the legendary north London studio complex where the Beatles recorded nearly all their albums and singles.
They are also promised the opportunity to use the studio’s recording spaces, control rooms and equipment.
The studio has also been used by the likes of Paul Robeson and Pink Floyd, but it is most famously associated with the Beatles, who named their 1969 album after the road in St John’s Wood where the studio is based. The cover is one of the most famous in rock history and attracts droves of fans to recreate the image of the band walking across the pedestrian crossing outside the studio, which was set up in 1931. The studio changed its name to Abbey Road the year after the album was released.
