Music Production Course UK: Learn Online at Your Own Pace

Music Workflow Academy is a UK music academy based in Saltney, Chester, and our online music production course teaches you to make, mix and finish tracks in Ableton Live. With 166 on demand video lessons, you can learn at your own pace on any device, from anywhere in the UK.

There are plenty of music production courses in the UK, from college diplomas to short online tutorials. When you compare them, these are the questions worth asking:

• Who teaches it? Look for a tutor who releases music or plays out, not just someone who reads the manual.
• Does it teach a finished track, or just features? Knowing every button is not the same as finishing songs.
• Can you learn at your own pace? On demand lessons let you practise each step until it clicks.
• Is it accredited? Our teaching is CPD accredited.
• What does it cost? Our course is £197 as one payment, with no monthly subscription.

The course follows the order you actually make a track: setting up Ableton Live, programming drums, writing basslines and chords, sound design, arrangement, mixing and finishing. Along the way you learn a fast, repeatable workflow, which is where the name Music Workflow Academy comes from.
