Composition Course | Berlin
Music Composition
It's all very well knowing how to make a synth sound great, but most musicians would argue that the notes you send to it are much more important. It's not a competition, but you should really have a good idea of both if you wish to take giant leaps in the direction of producing the music you love in-person in New York or Live Online.
In Berlin the Composition Course is taught by producers working in one of the world's best-known electronic music cities. Classes are small and hands-on at our studio, and the same sessions can be attended live online, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse. Discover qualities that distinguish us, here.
