Pro Tools

London is where Garnish began, and the Pro Tools here is taught by producers working in the city's studios, clubs and labels. Groups are small, classes are hands-on, and the same course runs live online for students elsewhere in the UK and Europe, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse.
