Free Music Production Course in Christchurch
Most music production courses cost thousands and teach in a classroom. Billie No.1 teaches production the way it is actually learned: in sessions, on real songs, with people who make records, and at no cost.
Christchurch is the South Island’s largest city, and its rebuilt central city has brought new venues, galleries and street art since the earthquakes. The Port Hills, Banks Peninsula and the Canterbury plains are all close by for wider shoots. The programme is open to emerging artists from Christchurch. Get in touch to find out what is running and how to take part from there.
