Next Stage Academy is the leading educational institute in music & events in The Netherlands. Being that Amsterdam is one of the biggest party capitals in the world, why not learn from the ones who make it happen. We take extreme pride in our team of professionals, courses and the network we have assembled over the years to bring us where we are today.

Our team of professionals are here to assist you and guide you with your chosen course. If you have any doubts, we will be more than happy to break down the courses even further and direct you accordingly. We can even meet with you online or offline if that helps! * For more information, contact us via email: [email protected]

Our courses are taught at college level, but no need for prerequisites. We have had people from all different ages enroll at the academy, sometimes even younger than 18. We take pride in our up-to-date, finely curated curriculum by a team of professionals from the dance industry and continuously strive for inspiring, novel and exclusive teaching material.

For our Music & Production courses, a laptop and headphones are required from the student, and we provide gear to practice.

Through our partnership with Ableton we offer 40% education discount on Ableton software! The Event & Organization course requires note taking, so you can either bring your laptop or notepad, as you wish!

Through out the course you will work on a project-plan with a group and also have some small take-home assignments. The study pressure is low, so you can defintenlty take it along side your school, study or work.

Absolutely. This is our favorite thing to do; connect our students with our vast network of like minded people to see where you fit in. It is our duty to help out those in need, especially ones who drip with passion in music and/or events.
