Looking for music production courses in Berlin? Berlin School of Sound offers 12-week semestral programs taught by working artists — not academics reading from a syllabus. Our flagship Make Some Waves course takes you from your first DAW session to a finished, mixed track, covering sound design, composition, and studio production fundamentals alongside instructors like RETHE, Henning Grambow, and Stéphane Lefrançois.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or already producing and want to sharpen your technique, our courses run in small groups of 7–10 students at ACUD Kunsthaus in Berlin-Mitte, with hands-on studio time and a public showcase at the end of the semester. Alongside music production, we teach modular synthesis, DJing, studio engineering, and official Wwise game-audio certification — so you can specialize once you know what direction excites you.
New semesters start in February and September each year. Not sure which course fits? Book a free 15-minute call with our director.
