We get it, and that’s why we made this course.

In this course, we compose, produce and arrange a song from scratch, and document the entire process.

The purpose of this course is to show you how you can produce a song, from scratch, all by yourself.

You will no longer have to rely on other people to fill in the gaps for you. This course has it all covered.

Who are your instructors?

Tomas George is a Music Producer and Songwriter, teaching over 275,000 students worldwide all aspects of music production.

Tomas will be taking you through the first half of the process, where he documents himself writing and producing a basic song from scratch.

Christopher Carvalho is a producer and engineer, who works with artists worldwide and has years of industry experience.

Christopher will take you through the second half of the course, where he takes the song that Tomas produced, and mixes and masters it in front of you.

By the end of this course, you will be armed with a consistent writing and production workflow, which will have you finishing as many tracks as you start.
