Enrollment is open from December 1, 2023 through January 14, 2024.

Intro to Music Production with Ableton

This course is open to all levels of experience- from beginners to experienced producers. We'll cover the basics of music software navigation, composition and arrangement, audio effects, mixing, and more. We'll also explore various genres, so this is a great opportunity to broaden your horizons and make music outside your comfort zone. We primarily focus on using Ableton in this course, but you can apply the majority of the concepts learned to other DAWs such as FL Studio and Logic Pro. We’re confident that this course will provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to create your own music.
