FL Course | London
FL Studio Course
Build Beats. Shape Sound. Finish Tracks.
FL Studio has become a go-to DAW for electronic music producers and beat-makers around the world—but whatever your genre, if FL is your weapon of choice, and you want your name on this list of notable users, this course will give you the tools and confidence to have the best chance.
London is where Garnish began, and the FL Course here is taught by producers working in the city's studios, clubs and labels. Groups are small, classes are hands-on, and the same course runs live online for students elsewhere in the UK and Europe, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse.

Whether you're a complete beginner or already making tracks in FL, this 36-hour course delivers deep, structured training in music production, beat-making, and engineering. We cover every major element in detail, packed with real-world tips and techniques that even experienced users find game-changing. You’ll leave with a solid workflow, polished production skills, and a competitive edge over anyone stuck in YouTube rabbit holes.
Classes are live and interactive—in-person or live online—so you can ask questions and get feedback in the momentwhen you're inspired... or confused. It’s this kind of immediate, practical support that makes in-person learning so effective. Discover qualities that distinguish us, here.
In our students' words.
“A nice relaxed working environment and detailed, in-depth working practices. I really got a lot from this course and answered a lot of questions I had about sound engineering processes in Pro Tools.”
