Pathway to Earn a Prestigious UK BA (Hons) Degree
Choose from Music Production & Sound Engineering, Electronic Music Production or Songwriting & Production. Complete all academic learning remotely with our UK-based expert module leads. Then, tap into your local Garnish student hub for everything else — collaborate in person, connect with like-minded peers, get help on your modules from our in-house team, and be part of our global creative community. You’ll be working towards your qualification, delivered in English and recognized worldwide. For your final year, choose from our network of university partners to complete your BA (Hons) degree in person or online.
Taught at our San Francisco studio, the BA (Hons) Pathways keeps groups small enough that every student gets real time at the controls. Bay Area producers lead the sessions, and the identical course can be taken live online if that suits you better, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse.

Racks past the basics. Key and velocity zones, chain select, macro variations as snapshots, randomising macros, and extracting a chain back out.
