The Producer Program includes 120 hours of structured, hands-on instruction.
Students enrolling more than 14 days before the program begins may reserve their place with a $500 initial payment. This payment is credited toward the total program price and is not an additional charge.
The initial payment consists of a $150 registration and administrative fee and a $350 tuition deposit.
If you cancel in writing within three business days after enrollment, all amounts paid will be refunded. After that period, the $150 registration fee is nonrefundable, while the $350 tuition deposit remains subject to the program’s cancellation and refund policy.
The remaining tuition balance of $5,999 must be paid before the first class.
Students enrolling within 14 days of the start date may still be accepted if space remains, but the complete program price will be due upon enrollment.
Early enrollment provides additional time to complete payment arrangements, sign enrollment documents, install and configure the required software, and prepare for the first class.
Please contact us before submitting payment if you are interested in available payment-plan options.

Thanks to our exclusive licensing partnerships, we have assembled a range of specialized assets: synthesizers, effects, and samples for Garnish students. These instruments and sounds allow us to teach producers, side by side, using the same sets of expanded resources. Our constantly evolving license-partners and content producers add thousands of dollars to the value of our Producer and Academy courses. Many of these products are yours to keep. Others are free to use while you learn and are then eligible for exclusive upgrades at a fraction of their regular price.
We have our very own boutique sample label. Garnish students get all of our packs (mostly written and produced by Garnish instructors) for free, and an exclusive pack just for Garnish students not sold on the site! It’s recorded individual keys from Mark Ronson’s Mellotron M4000D, which our label chief Zack Johnson meticulously recorded in Mark’s studio in Hollywood. Thank you Zack and Mark!

“I took this course to build a stable foundation in Ableton. What I got was not only a foundation, but and incredible amount of knowledge that surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to take that next progression from DJ’n to producing. I now have the full confidence to open up Ableton and make a full blown production from scratch. I have Garnish and their awesome teachers to thank for that!”
