360° Garnish Music Academy

At Garnish, we don’t just teach software—we teach the art of music production. This boutique-style program is designed for aspiring producers who want to take their music seriously and come away with more than just knowledge. By the end, students leave with their own completed project, a curated personal sound library, and the professional skillset to build a career in music production.

Classes are capped at a maximum of ten students, creating a hands-on, collaborative, and high-impact learning environment where creativity thrives. You’ll learn directly from our superior roster of instructors—seasoned producers and engineers who are not just industry-active, but personally invested in your progress.

Our hybrid mentoring approach includes strategically placed group mentoring sessions and private one-to-one studio mentoring with a mentor of your choice. This is your chance to write, produce, engineer, mix, and master a professional-quality EP—your music, guided by expert feedback every step of the way.

Flexibility is key. Thanks to our smart scheduling, you can choose your DAW path: Ableton Live Suite, FL Studio, or Logic Pro. Not sure which one is right for you? We’ll help you choose based on your goals, genre, and workflow preferences.

We’re also proud to have been the first music production school in the UK to offer official Music Production Grades. All students in our Academy-level program—wherever they are in the world—will take a Grade 6, 7, or 8 examinationas part of their certification. These internationally recognized qualifications provide a clear benchmark of achievement.

While some students take the grades purely for the challenge and recognition, others—especially younger learners and their parents—can feel confident knowing that our program meets nationally accredited standards and goes far beyond casual learning.

Whether you’re aiming to break into the industry, build a professional portfolio, or simply refine your creative voice, this program offers the mentorship, tools, and structure to make it happen.
