SCHOOLS music production school
Helping us achieve the above is the highest standard of facilities available to students on our music production courses outside of normal lecture times, giving students the best opportunities possible to become a professional music engineer, producer, writer, artist manager, or label owner.
The tutors we currently have at ACM have worked on numerous high profile projects including: Robbie Williams, U2, Coldplay, Fame Academy, Travis, Blue, Supergrass, Queen, Motorhead, Elton John, Shed Seven, Amy Winehouse, Jamie Cullum, Pink Floyd, Neneh Cherry, Pulp, Westlife, Mark Owen, Feeder, Take That, Athlete, Britney Spears, Eternal, Mark Morrison, Kylie Minogue, Jeff Beck, Simply Red, Therapy, Pop will Eat Itself, Inspiral Carpets, Sleeper, Suede, Chemical Brothers, Cast, Courtney Pine, and many, many more.
At the ACM Music Production School, tutors work on a wide variety of styles and a broad range of subjects including studio recording, composition, sequencing and business studies among others. The result is that students can be assured of experiencing all areas of the music industry.
With our tutors currently working in the music industry, as well as teaching regularly at ACM, all career advice and individual support is guaranteed to be relevant and current. This kind of advice is ongoing, through lectures and tutorials throughout the length of the music production course.

Music Production School
A modern ‘Record Producer’ is likely to be involved in many stages of the production process. Here at ACM our music production courses and sound design courses aim to give students an excellent grounding in a variety of essential music production areas. We feel that this is vital for the growth of a successful producer, whether they aim to work purely on their own material, or work with other artists.
