"What we offer is a unique approach to educating & developing raw musical talent."

For the past couple of years EMENDY Sound & Music Technologies has been specializing in the improvement of South African music and entertainment standards via education. Our focus leans towards producing better quality artists, music producers and engineers through our internationally recognized digital music production and sound engineering courses and workshops, enabling students to create and maintain their own independent entrepreneurial businesses in the music and entertainment industry.

Established in 2000, EMENDY has grown into a hub of resourceful options for any level of musician, sound engineer or producer. We are currently based in Hatfield (Pretoria) in a cleverly laid out and spacious setting that features a friendly atmosphere, well equipped classrooms that stimulates optimal creativity and production, dedicated student workstations, professional recording studios and an in-house music technology shop for all your musical software and hardware needs. The key to our success lies in the implementation of our courses, taking an unconventional no-nonsense and hands-on practical approach to conventional methods of teaching.

Based on the BTEC International Diploma in Music Technology standard and T.I.M.E. EMENDY’s courses provide a comprehensive international approach including aspects of both music production and sound engineering ensuring that upon the completion of the course, the student will be trained as a well-rounded producer / sound engineer and able to start working in the field immediately. We go as far as to help market our students from the time they start their studies on different music related and community webistes, record labels and music industry relationships we build over the years.

While there were no other music institutions in South Africa teaching Digital Music Production but Sound Engineering only EMENDY became the first Music Technology College in South Africa specializing in Computer generated digital music production education and later combined our well known music production courses with the studio and live sound engineering flelds.

Our courses are entrepreneurial based and include fundamentals of sound, computers and music, your music setup, theory and technique, MIDI sequencing, drum programming, digital wave editing, sound synthesis & design, cover designing, digital effects, sound construction and arranging, mixing and mastering, music business and the industry, ear training and music appreciation, music and video (production and editing), music software, studio and 5.1 sound engineering, post production and much more. 

Each student receives individual attention to identify his or her specific needs that are required for completing the course successfully.
The professional and established lecturers and staff of EMENDY are constantly staying ahead in the fast paced world of music and technology and our teaching methods and courses are regularly upgraded to suit the needs of the learners and industry.
