One of the best things about a Garnish course is the size of the classes – never more than 8 participants in a class. These will be like-minded students who, along with an excellent selection of instructors, will share, challenge and inspire you to bigger and better results. This all happens in a relaxed and fun setting of highly-focussed learning, writing and producing - and, who knows, maybe even leading to successful co-writing partnerships of the future!
Thanks to our exclusive licensing partnerships, we have assembled a range of specialized assets: synthesizers, effects, and samples for Garnish Academy and Producer Program students. These instruments and sounds allow us to teach producers, side by side, using the same sets of expanded resources. Our constantly evolving license-partners and content producers add thousands of dollars to the value of our Producer and Academy courses. Many of these products are yours to keep. Others are free to use while you learn and are then eligible for exclusive upgrades at a fraction of their regular price.
Garnish students get all of our sample packs (mostly written and produced by Garnish instructors) for free, and an exclusive pack just for Garnish students not sold on the site! It’s recorded individual keys from Mark Ronson’s Mellotron M4000D, which our label chief Zack Johnson meticulously recorded in Mark’s studio in Hollywood. Thank you Zack and Mark!
Students can save money by bringing along their own laptops to classes, but we have fully-loaded iMacs available to hire, too. Simply add a $75 supplement to book a machine at the same time as you book your course of choice. Bringing your own laptop, however, does mean you can get help setting it up to suit your own needs and also has the added benefit of looking the same at home as it does in class! Garnish courses always provide headphones and controller keyboards for anyone who needs them.
