If you want to write your own tunes, produce your band, boost your DJ profile by making DJ edits and ultimately see what the music industry can offer you, this is the ideal starting point to see what’s involved, and what you can expect if you join one of SEM’s music production courses.
This free music production course is perfect for beginners wanting a basic overview of music production – showing you how to program drum beats, write bass and synth lines, and how to arrange this into a track. You don’t need to be musical, have any equipment at home or have any prior knowledge of music production – our experts are on hand to show you how to start making music on Ableton Live.
I’m working through the Online Ableton Course so far, but I’ve already done tuition at the school. What’s interesting is that it does take a moment for the penny to drop, and I like the pauses you have left in. It works very well for beginners.
When I look back at my experiences in School of Electronic Music, there is no doubt that those were some of the most crucial stages in my development. The staff don’t forget you either which makes it all the more special.
I’ve achieved many life long goals as a result of studying at SEM. I’ve released my first independent track, signed to a well-known Artist Management company and have been lucky enough to be playing at Glastonbury. It’s a dream come true.
I would like to thank DJ Mark One for a magical day that I attended on the DJ Taster course. I would also like to point out to his management team what a superb job he does, he’s an excellent ambassador for the school and truly inspirational.
I really enjoyed today’s lesson. I loved witnessing how you made that track sound so much better and the idea of me doing that in the future is really exciting. Really looking forward to the coming weeks.
I strongly feel that you can’t put a price on face to face tuition rather then books, websites, magazines and so on. The staff at the Midi school are some of the best in their fields and you will learn from every word they speak so take lots of notes!
