More than Sound Engineering:
Learn Music Production at LSS

A course at London School of Sound gives you the experience that online tutorials and traditional degree programs cannot offer.

Study while working on your own music, get involved with the music scene in London, collaborate with musicians outside the school; theory and practice combined in hands-on sessions where sound engineering and creativity become Music Production.

"Being a Record Producer takes more than just knowing the equipment"

New Music Production Diploma

The Music Production Diploma is being expanded and from 2012 students can choose from a wide range of units to get one of these specialisations:

⁃ Sound Engineering
⁃ Record Production
⁃ Post Production & Sound Design
⁃ Music Business

New units allow students to use their software or choice while still learning on industry-standard platforms, and increase the opportunities for work experience during the course.

The modular nature of the curriculum allows for more flexibility and, for those on limited time or budget, for the first time these lectures are also available individually, outside the structure of the Diploma.

Which is best > Sound Engineering or Music Production course?

It depends on what are your priorities. Ideally you should do both and both at the same time (as it happens when you take a full-time Certificate), but if you have to pick only one as a part-time course consider this:

Music Production is mainly computer-based, it goes beyond learning just the equipment and it's very focused on creating your own original music. If you plan to produce electronic music or if your studio is going to be mainly based on a laptop this course is for you.

Sound engineering will also cover using computer software to record, edit, and mix, but will not involve creating your own music. It will instead teach you how to record acoustic and electric instruments, understand microphones, hardware mixers, and it's the best place to start if you intend to be working in a recording studio or in live music.

If in doubt contact London School of Sound, arrange an interview with a lecturer and tell us more about what you'd like to learn.

Feedback

"The course was absolutely excellent, the tutor was engaging, enthusiastic, basically a brilliant teacher, explaining everything clearly. The class was paced perfectly."

"Now after a few months of really putting what you taught me to the test I have started to make tunes properly, and am even experiencing some interest in getting my stuff signed."
