Music Production for Women – a learning platform which aims to empower both female and non-binary producers – is holding a series of three-hour beginner-oriented production workshops across Europe throughout July.
The workshops in London, Berlin, Amsterdam and Dublin – all completely free to attend – will cover the basics of music production, including beat programming, synthesis, audio effects and how to navigate a DAW.
“If you’re tired of being one of the only women in the room when it comes to music production, we know how you feel and we’ve been there before,” Music Production for Women explains about its EmpowHer Sound workshops
“The most magical part of our events, in addition to all the exciting knowledge that you will take away is the phenomenal energy created when you fill a room with women who want to learn from and support each other.”
While the event is primarily aimed at women and gender minorities, MPW also states that the event is open to anyone who wants to attend, and no previous technical skills are required for you to participate.
“There really is nothing like it and we want you to experience it! At our events, you will not feel like the odd person out, you will not be spoken down to, or get technical jargon thrown at you. You will be part of an encouraging community and treated with the kindness and respect you deserve. Although our events are designed to empower women, absolutely everyone is more than welcome to attend.”
The events are sponsored by Kilohearts, Novation and DistroKid, and one fortunate attendee from each will be able to take home gear including a Novation Launchkey MIDI controller, Focusrite Scarlett Solo interface, and Kilohearts’ Phase Plant soft synth.
Music Production for Women has been offering workshops since 2019 to thousands of students in multiple countries, with courses focusing on production, mixing and promoting your own music. The platform was founded by Ableton music educator, musician, and entrepreneur Xylo Aria.
During an 2021 interview with Stereofox, Aria explained that she established MPW in part because of how long it took for her to learn production herself due to the lack of community around it. Another aim is to: “increase the visibility of female role models, so that people early on in their journey can have someone to look up to that they can relate to.”
