360\u00b0 Songwriting & Production Academy | Berlin<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Do you want to be able to write and produce songs that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those that can be heard in the charts? Want to learn this in a class that has no more than 8 people in it? You\u2019ll be wanting to sign up to our Songwriting & Music Production Academy Program, then! We cover Rock, Urban, Pop, Singer\/Songwriter and Commercial Dance. Learning the skills from these will contribute towards your standing out in your chosen genre. You\u2019ll learn professional techniques from experienced songwriters, producers and engineers. Just take a look at our\u00a0Instructors\u00a0page. \u00a0You can look forward to being inspired and motivated by them, as well as your fellow learners. Garnish is rightly proud of being able to offer the\u00a0Music Grades System (we were the first in the world to do so)\u00a0for music production. All Academy students will be entered for a Grade 6, 7, or 8 upon successful completion of the program.

\n\t\t[vc_column_text]In DAW terms, Ableton Live<\/a> is a game-changer \u2013 its session view allows top-line songwriters to audition their music on-the-fly, making melody construction a fun task that\u2019s creative and constructive rather than a slog. That\u2019s why we begin with Ableton. We\u2019re an official Ableton-certified training center \u2013 and we\u2019re able to offer all Garnish learners a 40% discount![\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t\t[vc_column_text]This is a supremely important part of the program that brings out the hit songwriter in you! It unveils the techniques and tips that YouTube and songwriting books either don\u2019t know or aren\u2019t prepared to give up!

\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]This module deals with how to master the art of capturing sound for recordings, including piano, bass, synths and guitars. The \u2018producing vocals\u2019 section of this module is primarily aimed at songwriters and producers, but will be helpful for vocalists to know, too. It covers how to coax, coach and encourage the best performances from artists and session singers. The more you know about vocal production and how to capture vocal performance, the better the lead vocal will sound, and the better, therefore, the song will sound \u2013 the vocal being absolutely integral to the song\u2019s perception and success. Don\u2019t worry, though, this doesn\u2019t mean course participants will be forced to sing (unless they want to!) \u2013 it\u2019s ok to simply listen and observe.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tLogic Pro\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n<\/h2>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]The Logic Pro<\/a> part of the program is going to take the avid student on a comprehensive tour of the EXS24, so that they get to grips with features like MIDI FX, Flexpitch and manipulating and chopping up loops and so on to make signature sounds of their own. Students also learn all about the fantastic in-built sounds and FX that this awesome DAW has to offer. Contemporary producers will often have a favorite digital audio workstation, and many plump for Logic for its \u2018sound\u2019- so we cover both this and Ableton to extract the very best of both![\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]No academy course is complete without learning how to construct the home studio environment to achieve its optimum potential \u2013 and that\u2019s why, in this module, students are shown what professional engineers learn about acoustics and setting up a home studio space. That\u2019s quickly followed up by an in-depth analysis of EQ, dynamic controllers, how to fill the frequency spectrum, mixing vocals and, critically, making all parts come together as one amazing whole. As the student continues to build their knowledge of mixing techniques, they are shown exactly how to employ it within the realms of electronic music.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]This module takes the student way beyond subtractive synthesis to explore granular, additive, frequency-modulated synthesis and wavetable, as well as subtractive synthesis! This module also covers more advanced beat-making techniques as the student\u2019s sound continues to develop \u2013 this will include sampling, resampling and glitch techniques.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]Ah yes, the music business! That maze of possibility… this part of the program looks at the what was, what is and what may be – in an analysis of what makes this industry tick. We cover the roles of rights and societies, record companies, publishers, managers and lawyers. We look at synchronization (synchs) and licensing, how to sell your music, how to get it noticed and the pros and cons of door-stepping and other DIY tools you can employ to navigate the music business.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]The role of the music producer, and all of the component parts that go into that role, are explored in this module. From pre-production to completion through to the delivery of the final version. This module looks at each stage of the journey, analyzing the skills and concepts that lead to a successful conclusion. In particular, we look at how to create emotion through both sound and performance and how to focus on achieving your production goals by defining its direction. Through understanding of these concepts and the arrangement of the \u2018sonic field\u2019 and the musical notes within it, our students get the best chance to make their project\/s compelling and unique enough to extract the very best from them.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]Students get the chance to for some hands-on experience recording a band when they visit a local pro studio. They may find that a notable client or two are working in the adjacent room! There\u2019s also a pre-production studio which allows time and space for students to get stuck in, tinkering with their enviable range of vintage analog synths and processors to make some unique analog sounds for their projects.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]We conclude with a module that focuses on creating an effective Electronic Press Kit (EPK), how to brand and market a project, how to go about recruiting genuine social media followers and how to best exploit digital distribution opportunities.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>
