Sound Engineering & Music Production Part-time

Whether you’re just starting out, or you’ve hit a block teaching yourself, this course is designed to help you develop the skills used every day by studio engineers and music producers. You’ll learn how to shape and finish your own tracks using DAW mixing techniques, record full bands in a professional studio environment, and collaborate with artists as part of a real-world recording project.

With a focus on both in-the-box production and hands-on studio work, you’ll explore everything from electronic music production in Ableton to multitrack recording and mixing in Pro Tools. Along the way, you’ll build a body of work that reflects your creative growth and technical progress.

You’ll sharpen your skills in composition, arrangement, and mixing, and discover how to bring your creative ideas to life with professional polish. It’s time to get your music out of your head, and into everyone else’s.
