Why study Music Production?
Music producers can have a huge impact on an artist’s sound and career — just think of George Martin with The Beatles, Jack Antonoff with Taylor Swift, or Rick Rubin with the Beastie Boys. As more artists take control by writing and producing their own music — like Björk or Pharrell Williams — the line between artist and producer continues to blur. You could be next.
Whichever Music Production course you choose, we’ll ensure you have all the skills, connections and experience you need to succeed in the music industry.
During your time with us, you’ll be taught by accomplished industry professionals; you’ll have access to industry-standard facilities and tools; and you’ll attend masterclasses with prominent music producers and artists spanning a wide variety of genres. This is your chance to step into the dynamic and diverse world of music production — we’re excited to see how you’ll make your mark.
