Learn how to LEVEL UP and produce music!
This introductory course is far more than a course for beginners. You will learn solid basics that will set you up with industry best practices, and theory, and you will also get access to my 6-step preproduction process that was developed from 4 years post-graduate research. You will gain insight into how to improve your song craft and learn ways to improve your listening and analytical skills so you can apply what you hear to your own production.

Meet Your Instructor
Hi - I'm Brad Hosking. An award winning record producer, musician, business owner and educator.
I have over 20 years of experience as a songwriter and producer and I want to share with you all the tips, tricks, and mistakes I've made along my journey so you can fast-track your skills to be able to produce release quality music in the shortest amount of time.
I've toured the world in bands as a session musician, written literally hundreds of jingles and advertising campaigns for clients all around the world, written and produced countless records for pop, indie, and rock artists gaining international airplay, built successful music businesses, and have spent the last decade and a half sharing my expertise and experience with up and coming musicians, producers and songwriters as a University Lecturer.
Whether you are a beginner just starting your journey or an experienced campaigner, I'm sure there will be a lot of value in this course for you.
Songwriting and music production are so fluid and closely related in modern music and I feel that every musician and songwriter should possess production skills to open up new areas of creativity for their songwriting practice and creative output.
