This Electronic Music Producer Program is designed for our next generation of music producers, ready to get serious with their music using Ableton Live, and take them from zero to music producing hero in no fewer than 120 hours of world-class training and mentoring, in-person at our Ableton Certified Training Center in Seattle, or LIVE online.
Seattle students take the 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.
“I needed to brush up on something, so I called Garnish, as they have the best instructors” – Jamie Jones
Learn Ableton Live Suite from the ground up, covering everything you need to know about making music you love in this revolutionary DAW, and all of the add-ons in Suite, together with the best of Max4Live devices, dipping your toe into what goes into making a device, to give you a full understanding of what’s possible when producing the music you love.
Unlike our shorter Ableton production course, there are strategically placed mentoring sessions, so you get time to work on your music with the help of a selection of mentors from our roster, which will not only help you assimilate the content but, with hard work, you should come out at the end with your very own project.
Working in small groups will help you to greatly further your skills in Sound Design and Production, whether the aim is to create FX for the latest high-budget computer game, build a multi-channel interactive installation or simply take your music production skills and sound to a competitive level.

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 these 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.
You will need your laptop with Ableton Live installed. Contact us for hiring options, if appropriate. All Garnish students qualify got a 40% discount on Ableton software.
If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message.
