Music & Audio Production

Music and audio production courses cover two connected worlds: playing and writing music, and capturing and shaping sound. Instrument and voice courses teach technique and repertoire step by step, while production courses teach you to record, arrange, mix and finish tracks with a computer and a digital audio workstation.

On the performance side you will find guitar, piano, drums and singing lessons from beginner to advanced, music theory courses on notation, scales, chords and harmony, and songwriting courses on melody, lyrics and song structure. On the production side, courses cover recording technique and microphones, mixing with EQ, compression and effects, and broader audio production such as beat making, sound design and arrangement.

Courses suit complete beginners, adults returning to an instrument, self-taught players filling gaps, singer-songwriters, bedroom producers and musicians who want to record their own work. Many instructors teach with play-along tracks, sheet music or tabs, and multitrack sessions you can download.

To choose, start with what you want to do, such as play songs with friends, read music, write originals or release your own recordings, and look for a course at your level. A free preview lesson is the quickest way to tell whether an instructor's teaching style and musical taste suit you.
