Logic Course | £449
Introduction to Music Production in Logic
You will learn all of the essential music production skills needed to compose, record and mix tracks in any genre on this comprehensive Logic Pro course. As well as being an introduction to music production for beginners, the course serves more experienced self-taught Logic users as you fill in blanks thoroughly with one of our team of industry active professionals, who will show you how to produce music in Logic, just as they do. This six-week course takes place at the Arthaus in London and the price is only £449.
If you miss any sessions due to holidays or illness, we can engineer it so you can come back on a future cycle and catch up. All courses come with extensive notes put together by our expert course developers, and you also get an industry recognised certificate on successful completion.
Check out the testimonials at the bottom of this page to see what recent learners thought. You may be surprised at some of the names on there!
Tom Belton, Larry Holcombe and Irfan Nathoo are our Logic specialists. Check them out on our Instructors page and Google.
The courses are designed for optimised learning so you take in the content in a day, recap in between sessions at home, and come back to us a week later for the next session of learning. This makes use of an educational practice called The Spacing Effect. Evening courses run two sessions per week for three hours each.
To enrol, call or send us an email telling us which course you would like to do, when it runs and we will organise the rest.

“Songwriting and performing has always been my thing but i’ve always been interested in the more technical side. A friend told me about Garnish School and their instructors so I booked their Logic course. It was just brilliant, Paul Waller was my instructor and an industry name I already knew! The course was paced perfectly and I don’t think i’ve ever learnt so much in six weeks before. I’m finally very comfortable with Logic now and am making music on my own on planes travelling to gigs!” Robert Owens
“I would never have discovered all this by myself. A well structured course with quite simply brilliant instructors.” Shaun Holmes
“I thought the courses were pretty much perfect!” Adam Ficek - Logic and EMP Read interview
“The reason I took the course is because I wanted to get more in-depth with different types of synthesis, electronic sound design and programming beats. I’ve been working on music the whole time on the courses here and at home, putting the tricks and methods I’ve learnt into practice. I’ve found that the way I approach things now is different to how I did before. I learnt so much and I work in a kind of optimised way, not only saving so much time when I work on music by getting what I want quickly. I now just know what to do to improve a song with production. There’s so much more scope now, so many more options than I had before I did the EMP course in particular. Great tutors with experience, good teaching techniques, and well structured lessons. I wouldn’t change anything on either course, and next I am going to take your mixing course.” Stefan Olsdal - Logic and EMP. Read interview
“It’s a great course if you want comprehensive, informative, invaluable knowledge of Logic. It illustrates areas of Logic where you may have never encountered or thought about.” Renu Hossain
“I’d recommend this course because of the spacing of the classes allows learning to “sink in”. The knowledge of the instructors is brilliant, plus it makes a big difference that the instructors are all in the industry.” Natasha James
“The course covered an awful lot of material that would have taken me so much longer to learn on my own. It was interesting and all the tutors were very knowledgeable and approachable, putting up with my endless questions! At the end of the course, I feel I know my way around Logic and have the basics and concepts to build upon. I liked the breadth of the course, it covered a little music theory and synth sound generation as well as getting around Logic. It was a convenient location to get to, and I really enjoyed every session. I do think that although it’s not cheap, it’s not a year long course costing thousands of pounds. It’s shorter and more like a crammer which allows people to fit it in around their jobs. I only wish I had the time and money to do the songwriting course! Thanks again 
” Dr. Rosalyn Miller
“I thought the course was really well-structured and a lot was covered over the six weeks. So many things I wanted to know where explained really clearly and concisely. Thought it was great having more than one lecturer too, so you got different perspectives on things. The pace was really good, felt like we whizzed through things and didn’t linger too long on any one topic. Also appreciated being given full notes on each session.” Lucy Underhill
“The course material is relevant and to the point. It enables the beginner to have a great understanding of how use logic in a short amount of time.” Kwame Richardson – Logic
“I always had to rely on others help to get reasonable sounding demos for my songs. Now after doing the Logic music production course, I am making great sounding demos all by myself from not knowing anything before really. The tuition was brilliant. I highly recommend this course” Lauren Rogers
“It was everything I hoped for and more. I’m not interested in long academic courses and this was exactly the shot in the arm my music production skills needed. I researched courses for a long time before finding Garnish, and there’s nothing else out there like it. I’ll be doing the mixing course next after a break to put into practice all what i’ve learnt so far” Russ Jay – Logic and EMP
“All the tutors are massively helpful. really full of knowledge. Garnish made me feel really welcome, great place to learn about music.” Howard Robinson – Logic
“Anyone interested in Logic needs to do this course. It’s a concise ice breaker to the environment taught by passionate industry pros that bring that extra extra special something of real life insight to the Logic workflow, as well as the industry.” JJ Barrett
“Wide spectrum of knowledge and expertise in modern music trick-nology. Industry recognised instructors that talk the talk and can walk the walk. Don’t think twice, book a course with the G.S.O.S!” Nick Burns – Logic and Mixing
“It was highly enjoyable and exceeded expectations and brought my attention to a lot of aspects of music, not just solely Logic which was a bonus.” Keon Ghaharian
“I can’t believe how much I learnt in just six weeks. I didn’t even know how to make a beat in Logic before and now I’m making decent sounding Dubstep tracks in Logic. I can’t wait for the EMP course when I can get some more time off work!” Robert Marshall
“Extremely knowledgeable, friendly tutors who covered everything we would need to know to be equipped for music production. We are now musically armed and dangerous!” Rosie Neave
“Thanks so much for your course, it has opened my mind to Logic and what it can do!!! My production has stepped up 200% since finishing the course and I am also feeling more confident about music n production in general” Simon Gordon
“I found the Logic course really inspiring and completely relevant to what I am trying to achieve. In such a small time I have progressed immensely and now can have solutions for what I had been struggling with for so long. I’ve even leant how to record vocals properly too! Online tutorial videos were just bewildering and I wish I had done this course years ago. Next up is EMP and I can’t wait!” Sam Ball – Logic and EMP
“I feel like i have come out of the course with a lot more knowledge than i thought I would!” Robbie Linstead
“Teachers are friendly and know whats up in terms of what you need to learn out of a class. Also the structure in terms of progression and segmenting the courses over 6 weeks helps to retain info.” Arsoy Mustafa – Logic and EMP
