About this course

Have you ever wanted to make your own music instead of just listening to it? In this course, you’ll meet 2 times per week and learn how professional producers build beats, record vocals, mix songs, and create tracks that sound polished. By the end of the semester, you’ll have original music you can share with friends, post online, and use in your creative portfolio.

Whether you’re into hip-hop, EDM, pop, rock, or game music, you’ll create your own songs from day one. No experience required—just bring your creativity.

FAQs

Minimum Computer Requirements?

The course primarily focuses on a Mac and the free software Garage Band. Only have a PC? Don’t worry! Click here to join the list for that class!

How much time per week is the course?

We will meet twice per week, with an additional window for office hours with the instructor. The first day of the week is to discuss the techniques, the second day is later in the week, to review everyone’s work and make corrections. Office hours are to trouble-shoot any issues students are having or to address any assignment questions. This time, combined with project assignments could equal up to 3-4 hours per week.

Do I have to know how to play an instrument?

Not at all! We’ll be using electronic samples and your imagination to begin the process.

Does this workshop last all school year?

No. We offer each class in a package of either 1 month or 2 months, depending on the class. This class lasts 1 month, and you can take additional workshops after this one to continue your development.

Do I have to focus on a specific genre?

The short answer is no! You can be an absolute beginner, looking to make beats or learn the workflow and processes to refine your own existing creations.

 

Syllabus

Learning music production from random YouTube videos can be fun, but it often leaves you with gaps in your knowledge. One tutorial teaches you how to make an 808 hit harder, another shows you a cool effect, and another explains mixing—but it's hard to know what to learn next or why. Many students spend months jumping from video to video without ever finishing a complete song. This course is different. The curriculum is designed like a professional training program, with each lesson building on the skills you've already learned. You'll start with the fundamentals, then progress into beat making, recording, MIDI programming, sound design, arranging, mixing, and mastering. Every project reinforces previous concepts, so you're constantly improving instead of starting over with every new tutorial. The techniques you'll learn are the same core skills used by music producers across the industry. Whether you want to create beats, produce songs, compose music for video games or films, or simply make better music for yourself, you'll develop a strong foundation that transfers to any genre or software. Most importantly, you'll receive guidance and feedback from an instructor who can answer questions, identify mistakes, and help you improve much faster than learning on your own. Instead of wondering what to learn next, you'll follow a proven path that helps you build confidence, complete projects, and create music you're proud to share.
