Two days, total beginners welcome. Whether you've never opened music software or you've been dabbling and want a real way in, you'll leave the weekend with music you made yourself.
What you'll do
- 1
Make a beat
Program drums and stack loops — looping in your first hour.
- 2
Add melody & sounds
Play melodies you literally can't get wrong, and dial in your own sounds.
- 3
Build the track
Turn your loop into an arranged, finished sketch.
- 4
Record together
The whole room builds one song, recorded live.
Your weekend
Day 1 — Optional 9am Beats & Beans coffee hang, then 10–5: make a beat, add melody & sounds (lunch provided).
Day 2 — 10–5: build your track, group song + live recording, then a 5–6pm closing hangout (lunch + snacks).
It's a small group, not a lecture. Coffee, food, collaboration, and a live recording to finish.
What to bring
- Your own Mac laptop
- Headphones
- Logic Pro (the free trial is totally fine)
We send a short setup video before camp so you arrive ready to go.

Questions?
Do I need any experience?
Nope. Total beginners are exactly who this is for.
Do I need a Mac?
Yes — please bring your own Mac laptop and headphones.
I have a Windows PC — can I join?
Logic Pro is Mac-only, so you'll need a Mac for this one. Don't have access to a Mac? Email us before you book — we keep a few loaner MacBooks and can reserve one on a first-come basis.
What software do I need?
Logic Pro. The free trial works great for the weekend.
What if I've never made music at all?
You'll be fine. We start from zero and you'll have a track by the end.
Do I keep what I make?
Yes — everything you create is yours to keep.
Loved it and want to go deeper? Take the weekend, then move up to Music Production in Logic Pro — you'll get a $200 credit toward the course.
