Electronic Music Academy 60 hrs SOLO
Electronic Music Academy (60 hrs.) SOLO | Hong Kong
This is a highly focused 1 on 1 + Group program in a SOLO format for a shorter time (60 hrs) and direct personal mentorship.
Format: 1 on 1 (40 hrs) + Group (20hrs)
The course will be available in both online and offline formats for a more flexible arrangement. Garnish Music Production’s Electronic Music Academy program has been put together to get you making the music you love.We will take the beginner through everything they need to know - in a program that’s supported by Ableton, Native Instruments, and Apple Logic Pro. It all starts with familiarizing students with their music production software and takes them right through to the point where they are mastering their first EP! By applying themselves, students can fully realize their potential with the help and support of our superior roster of friendly, informative instructors at our boutique facility. The work itself is a healthy mix of time spent on projects both in and out of our studios, where the course structure has been devised to allow time for mentoring, writing, producing, engineering, mixing and mastering. By very association, all students will also have access to our worldwide network of alumni.

. If UK music production qualifications do not obviously pertain to our students' goals, they (and perhaps more so their parents) can be rest assured that our music production program meets a national standard of accreditation. Students will get to grips with this revolutionary DAW within weeks of starting class. Through our hands-on instruction, students will discover the key concepts that Ableton Live offers, and discover why it is the DAW of choice for getting ideas together for electronic music producers. All GMP learners qualify for a 40% discount on Ableton. Overlooked by many, but so useful in the long run, our electronic music composition section will save students hours of hitting and hoping! We will provide you with tools that show which chords go well together for your style and show you how to program chords that work, bass lines that groove, and lead lines that are catchy. The EMP course teaches students the science of audio engineering and recording. The course is full of recording techniques, tips, and tricks, with special emphasis placed on recording and producing vocals. Even if we don't sing ourselves, we still need to be able to encourage, coach, and produce artists and session vocalists. The more we know about singing, vocal production, and recording vocals, the better the main part of our song - the lead vocal - is going to sound! Of course, even though we cover vocal technique, actual singing in class is not mandatory - it is OK just to listen! Many electronic music producers use
Logic Pro
in the later stages of their production process because of the sound quality and its suitability for finishing (arranging and mixing) tracks compared to Ableton. This is why we think it's useful to learn how to use Logic Pro in addition to Ableton.
"I switched to Ableton from Logic many years ago, but recently I've been missing Logic, so I decided to brush up to get the best of both worlds. I called Garnish, of course and the guys were great and got me back up to speed in no time"

We start by students how to acoustically treat and set up their home studio, then it's on to in-depth EQ, filling the frequency spectrum, dynamic controllers, mixing vocals, generating a huge sound from few elements, and making all their parts sound as one, exploring all the amazing plugins used by world-class mix engineers. Many professional electronic music producers never move beyond subtractive synthesis in their entire careers, but in our program, we will cover subtractive, wavetable, granular, additive, and frequency modulated synthesis. We will also cover sampling, resampling, glitch, and more advanced beat-making techniques in this section, as students develop their sound. By this point in the program, students will have gone deeper than many professional producers with their sound design skills. We take it even further by introducing students to additive, wavetable, and Max4Live devices. We will also cover advanced sampling, advanced warping, and Racks & Chains. At the end of the module, students will learn how to apply their skills to music for media (film and TV). In the Live Performance section of this course, instruction will focus on finishing students' projects, offering bespoke advice in a concentrated blast of mentoring sessions, and on introducing Ableton Live for performance using Push 2. If students are capable DJs, who play music we can incorporate into our club night, we will invite them to join our DJ roster to play at our club night, without having to take our DJ program if they're experienced enough. There's not far to travel for the recording a band session, as we have our very own commercial recording and mixing studio! We also make use of a pre-production studio, where students can experiment and program in a room full of vintage analog synths and processors to find some real analog sounds for their tracks. To finish off the program, students will learn all about EPKs, branding, digital distribution, and social media for artists. Please be mindful that our programs are designed for personal enrichment – to explore the limits of students’ creativity, create their own path to fulfillment and gain new skills by learning the aspects of music production. As we are not a US-accredited trade school, we do not provide instruction in career planning, interviewing techniques, resume preparation or completing job applications.
