Company Summary

The Honablue Institute (THI) takes students with no experience and turns them into professional audio engineers in 10 months. Many musicians, singers, and artists today are engineering their own recordings and are discovering that they lack the knowledge, skills, and experience to do it themselves. We provide these students with the skill set and experience based on our combined 70 years of music industry experience.
