Music Production

About the course

11-16 and mad about music? Our Music Production course gives you the tools and support to make your own tracks and develop your own sound, while learning about performance and how to get your music out there.

You'll learn how to make your own music using Logic Pro software.

You'll meet and work with professional DJs and musicians, and visit gigs and music venues across the city.

You'll get the chance to showcase your work, and support to further your training after the course.

This course can also help you to complete your Bronze Arts Award.

I love doing the music production course. The tutors are really helpful and friendly, they're very passionate about what they do. I've been coming back term to term because there are always opportunities to learn more. I can now produce my own tracks, I've performed at events across Bristol, like the Harbour festival and at Colston hall. I've even met Goldie. Most importantly, it's given me the confidence and inspiration to DJ and make music.
