Los Angeles, CA—May 21, 2025—Futureproof Music School, founded by renowned online music education expert John von Seggern, EDM star Max “Protohype” Pote, and electronic music education legend Steve “Professor” Nalepa, is proud to announce its official launch. The school combines human leadership with AI-guided curriculum in a groundbreaking new approach to online music education.
Futureproof aims to empower musicians and producers and help them achieve their creative goals through personalized learning experiences, a vibrant online community, and music production classes tailored to the rapidly evolving music industry.
A New Era in Music Education
Traditional music education programs struggle to keep up with the latest developments in music technology, including generative AI and its impact on the industry. This gap in most curricula has disadvantaged some students, training them for careers and roles that may soon become obsolete. Futureproof Music School addresses this gap with an innovative platform integrating AI-driven personalization, a dynamic curriculum reflecting the latest industry trends, and access to world-class mentors.
Futureproof students have access to an AI-powered music coach named Kadence. The voice chatbot is available 24/7 and can listen to their music, understand it, and verbally share expert feedback about improving the mix or composition. FMS Students speak to Kadence in real time while using their digital audio workstation, allowing for minimal context switching.
Key features of Futureproof Music School include:
- Dynamic Curriculum: Project-based courses evolve alongside industry trends, including trending genres like phonk or hyperpop and the latest tech tools for music creation.
- Expert Mentorship: Students gain on-demand access to industry professionals for personalized coaching and guidance.
- Collaborative Community: A thriving online network for peer-to-peer collaboration and networking enhances the learning experience.
- AI-Powered Personalization: Kadence is an intelligent AI music coach voice chatbot that helps students craft individualized learning paths based on each student’s background, interests, and progress. Students can upload music to Kadence and speak to the coach for advice about improving the EQ, audio effects, composition, and more.
Founder’s Vision
Futureproof Music School founder John von Seggern has over a decade of experience designing and directing online education programs at leading schools, including Point Blank and ICON Collective. His career has included DJing, sound design for major films, techno and ambient music releases, and collaboration with electronic music pioneer Jon Hassell.
Von Seggern has witnessed the need for adaptive education in the music industry firsthand.
“Futureproof is creating an adaptive, world-class system inspired by Khan Academy’s personalized learning model,” says von Seggern. “Our mission is to democratize access to high-quality music instruction and build music production classes that keep up with the pace of the industry itself.”
Max Pote adds, “What excites me about Futureproof is how we meet producers where they are and take them where they want to go. Other schools focus exclusively on helping people who are just getting started. Our AI music coach ensures that students have access to relevant feedback 24/7. Then we provide access to expert human mentors and a vibrant community, where they can get high-touch, targeted feedback.”
