If you're ready to take your music seriously and want to master one of the world’s most powerful DAWs, this is where your journey begins. Whether you're starting from scratch or you’ve been self-teaching and want to fill in workflow gaps, our 120-hour Music Producer Program in Ableton Live Suite is built to help you produce high-quality, release-ready tracks while earning a certificate that proves your skills.
Seattle students take the Certified Electronic Music Producer Program in a small group at our studio, or live online in the same session with the same instructor, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse. The city has a deep electronic and independent music scene, and our teachers are part of it.
Sound design is a big focus too—you’ll explore the best of Max4Live devices and get under the hood with Serum, the only third-party plugin featured in the course, to create truly unique sounds.
Our class sizes are intentionally small—no more than 10 students per class—so you can learn in a relaxed, collaborative environment. Our purpose-built labs encourage experimentation, creativity, and even the occasional class jam. Because learning to produce the music you love should be inspiring, not overwhelming.
Whether you want to make club bangers, cinematic soundscapes, or experimental grooves, this program gives you the tools, knowledge, and mentorship to make it happen.
