Rashef Genosar, Instructor
Rashef Genosar (SHEFETZ) – a music producer and lecturer in Ableton and Cubase courses.
Rashef graduated with honors from the BSP program. During his studies, he gained experience in producing original songs for students in the Creative Singer track and performed with them.
Recently, Rashef has been working on three main projects: Playing in the project “Mary My Love” and producing it – a hip-hop opera about longing for the spirit of rebellion. Playing on Ableton Push 2 and a computer in the ensemble “Misanthrope” – an Israeli rock band with a lot of love for technology. SHEFETZ – a solo project that combines electronic beats in various shades with singers of all the spectrum’s colors.
Rashef believes that there is no single truth. In music, more than in any other field, the rules are merely a suggestion, and the goal is to break as many of them as possible. It’s essential to continuously push the boundaries further – everything you are taught, try to do the opposite as well and see how far you can go. This is the key to progress.

FAQ
BPM’s online platform uses live video chat, with the content taught directly by our professional tutoring staff. The live video-chat format enables to simulate a live classroom, where questions can be asked, feedback can be provided instantly, and the tutors are able to use different visual aids for a better learning experience, in a way that is almost identical to our frontal studies.
No 🙂 We worked hard to create a learning experience that is substantial, yet simple. Each student that experienced technical difficulties is offered personal assistance from our technical support team, which are available throughout all learning hours, and are willing to explain the process so it’s also simple for you. We believe technology should not be a barrier on your way to making your dream of studying music come true in a professional manner.
After thorough evaluation, we concluded that the systems we use for our online studies platform enable more-than-sufficient audio quality, so uncompromising audiophile audio quality can be provided for all of our students.
BPM College’s online studies are substantially different from other existing online studying platforms, and that is because of one major reason: our online studies are conducted live in front of the tutor, while there’s the possibility of learning continuity along with offline times dedicated to Q&As with the tutor after class times.
For the sake of reliable and focused technical support, we founded a team that is immediately available for chat and/or phoneclass. In the case of a technical problem, our team will assist with remote control systems to fix any issue you may run into. Additionally, our online classes are all recorded and uploaded to a designated viewing platform, which enables you to rewatch previous classes and content that was used throughout those classes – that way we can make sure you don’t miss a single drop of knowledge, even if you ran into an issue while it happened in class.
After deep and thorough research with our students community, which is also comprised of people who have ADHD, we concluded that the online studies platform actually improves focus and the students’ ability to concentrate during class. Mainly because each student gets to choose and customize their own studying environment, and thus are able to create their ideal situation for learning and deep concentration.
