In our students' words.
“My time at Garnish London's year long Electronic Music Production course has been invaluable. Being able to learn from industry professionals who are at the top of their game just goes to show what is possible. It has made such a big difference to my musical journey learning production, first hand in a small focused environment with other musicians, instead of trying to learn it all online by myself. This course has covered all of the fundamentals of music production in a comprehensive, practical and hands-on way, and I really couldn't have asked for a better experience. It also helps that the teachers have been patient, enthusiastic and friendly. Thanks for the experience and I can't wait to see what the future holds for me.”

Garnish Music London does not have formal entry criteria. We understand that people begin their musical journeys in different ways and we want to support that.
In order to participate in the course, we would expect you to have a basic idea of music production. If you’ve played around with a DAW, you’ll know enough; if you’re an instrumentalist, that’s also sufficient - we’re here to teach you the rest. As part of the application process, we will conduct an interview with you to determine that you’re a good fit and on the same page as your fellow learners!
As a Garnish Learner, you will be able to access the school in order to use the class space for your own sessions when you have been inducted and oriented.
The course includes two full days at Goldsmith Music Studios, where you will be guided by their engineers, gain experience with high-end vintage gear and have the opportunity to record what you've written in a professional environment.

We have our very own boutique sample label Lazerdisk Sound. Garnish students get all of our packs (mostly written and produced by Garnish instructors) for free, and an exclusive pack just for Garnish students not sold on the site! It’s recorded individual keys from Mark Ronson’s Mellotron M4000D, which our label chief Zack Johnson meticulously recorded in Mark’s studio in Hollywood. Thank you Zack and Mark!
