Course Overview

Thanks to today's technology, music production is more accessible than ever before!

Music production is the process behind every track in our libraries, from writing the song to the final master.

Over our standard 8-week course (modifications available), we cover 5 basic stages of music production: songwriting, arranging, tracking, editing and mixing – with music videos of completed projects also available!

Students will be given weekly creative challenges, learn effective techniques, and receive guidance and feedback. Students will also develop knowledge of the business of music, copyright laws, studio recording, careers in music and basic music theory needed in the performance and creation of electronic music to ensure their success!
