Composition Class | Houston
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 Houston or Live Online.
Houston is one of the newest campuses in the Garnish network, and the Composition Class here runs the way it does everywhere we teach: small groups, working producers as instructors, and a live-online option for anyone who cannot make it to the studio, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse.

What our students say.
“I wouldn't change a thing about this course. It was ten times better than I expected it to be. The instructor was incredibly informative and kept things fun. I've played with software for a couple of years and thought I got most of the basics down but I definitely was wrong. Great course! I would definitely recommend this course to anybody wanting to learn the production side of music. It was incredibly helpful and left me inspired to make tracks 24/7.”
