Music Production
Create music with technology.
For young people who love tech as much as they love music. In our production sessions, they'll learn to build beats, arrange songs, record instruments and vocals, and explore the world of live sound.
We use industry-standard software like Logic Pro — the same tools used by professional producers — so they're learning skills that translate directly into the real world.
What They'll Learn
In our music production sessions, young people will:
Build beats and arrangements — creating tracks from scratch using software
Record instruments and vocals — capturing performances in the studio
Mix and master — learning how to shape and polish a finished track
Work with songwriters — producing and enhancing original songs
Explore live sound — shadowing at our events, or taking a hands-on role depending on experience
No prior experience needed — just curiosity and a love of music.
Who It's For
Ages 8+ — Saturdays (alongside songwriting)
Ages 14+ — Wednesdays or Thursdays
All sessions take place at our studios in Southend-on-Sea: 30 Alexandra Street, Southend-on-Sea, SS1 1BU
