FREE Beginners Music Production Class

Get a taste of what it is like to be a learner at Garnish at our FREE beginners music production class.
Our admissions specialists will be on hand to answer any questions you have about our courses after the workshop, and of course, show you around the rest of the facility.
Our free beginners music production class happens throughout the year, and the time slot changes each time to suit all schedules. See the full schedule for our next class, and register your spot here.
Until we see you, check out some student feedback from our Comprehensive Academy Program.
In Portland this course is deliberately small: a handful of students, one working producer, and plenty of time on the equipment. If getting to the studio is not practical, the same classes run live online, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse. Discover qualities that distinguish us, here.
