SARA was started by veteran audio professionals with the desire to give back. Our goal is to help like-minded individuals pursue their passion in music. We understand what it's like to be different, and the need to do something creative — we share that calling. This is a golden opportunity to receive a level of education that is rarely available. We encourage you to take a closer look, compare and do your research. We think that you'll see, not only are we different, but the way we do things are too. |
