Do I need to know a DAW?

You should be comfortable in one already; this is about the music, not the software.

Can I take it online?

Yes. The Electronic Music Production Class runs in person at Garnish Chicago and live online in the same sessions, using our music collaboration software, Muse - you join whichever suits you.

Will I work with other people?

Testimonials

Hear it from our students.

“The course was very enjoyable, challenging, and fulfilling. The Garnish School is a great space to learn the fundamentals essential to becoming a strong, well-developed music producer. The instructors took the time to teach & explain complex software techniques, and designed special classes to illustrate specific aspects of music making, and vocal recording techniques. The instructors were varied in their careers & producing styles, making for well-rounded instruction. The instructors were fun to engage with and were interested in building the students and our experiences. I'm so happy this school came to LA from London, and that I made the commitment to complete this course. I feel ready to jump forward and continue working on my music. Thanks to all the Garnish instructors and to Dave for creating this fantastic school!”
