An introduction to music production

Tuesday 11 July, 5-6pm

Learn how to navigate production software and build a track in this free online workshop with Xylo Aria, founder of Music Production for Women.

Producing electronic music can be an extremely handy tool in a musician's toolbox. However, for those completely unfamiliar with music production, it can be a daunting prospect.

Xylo Aria is dedicated to breaking down these barriers and encouraging musicians, particularly women (who make up fewer than 5% of music producers), to empower themselves.

In this hour-long, online ISM Trust workshop you will learn how to navigate a production software (Ableton Live) and will also break down and re-build the production in one of Charli XCX's tracks. Whether you want to start producing your own music, or learn a few tricks of the trade to understand how to improve your productions this is the workshop for you!
