Songwriting & Production Industry Diploma

Learn how to produce and write the songs you hear in the charts every day in classes of no more than eight people on our Songwriting & Music Production Industry Diploma. Styles covered are Commercial Dance, Rock, Singer/Songwriter, Urban, and out-and-out Pop! Have the knowledge and skills from many styles of music in your locker to stand out from the crowd in your genre. You will benefit by learning professional techniques from experienced songwriters, producers, and engineers including Grammy-winners. We are proud to list all of them, from all of our programs on our Instructors page.  Be motivated and inspired by your instructors, classmates at the world's boutique music production school in the creative hub that is London Fields, Hackney.
Garnish was the first music production school in the world to offer the Music Production Grades. They are a fun way to recap information, add a healthy sprinkling of academia to our program, and do still carry some UCAS points. Unlike FE and HE accredited programs, Garnish has the freedom to make teaching students to produce the music they love the priority, not be bogged down with irrelevant academic modules. What's more, music production degrees are not important to employers in the music industry!
With homework and 360 hours of class time, with strategically placed mentoring sessions, you will write, produce, engineer, mix, master, and learn how to release and promote your very own EP, as well as potentially gaining your Garnish Industry Master Diploma Certificate, RSL Grade Award, and Logic Pro Certification.
