Music Production
Create music. Build confidence. Discover what's possible.
Whether your child dreams of producing music, writing songs or simply loves experimenting with sound, our Home Education Music Production sessions give them the opportunity to learn, create and explore in a supportive, hands-on environment.
Age 7+
Wednesdays | 10:00-11:00am
BHVA Studios, Kettering
Imagine if your child realised they could create music...
Not every young person who loves music wants to stand on a stage.
Some love listening.
Some are fascinated by how songs are made.
Some spend hours experimenting with sounds, rhythms and ideas.
They just need someone to show them where to start.
Our Music Production sessions help children discover that music isn't just something they listen to - it's something they can create.
With expert guidance, practical activities and plenty of opportunities to experiment, they'll build confidence one project at a time.
Using GarageBand on iPads and MacBooks, they'll develop practical music production skills, understand how music is created, and discover that they don't need to play an instrument to start making music of their own.
Music is more than pressing buttons
We help children understand why music works, how producers shape songs, and how they can use those ideas to create something that's uniquely their own.
Whether they're creating a film soundtrack, producing an electronic beat or experimenting with a pop song, every session encourages creativity, curiosity and confidence.
"Learning software is only part of the journey."
Learn by creating
Children don't just watch demonstrations - they explore ideas before applying them in their own projects.
Build real musical understanding
Alongside practical production skills, they'll develop music theory, listening skills and creative decision-making.
Supported by industry experience
Sessions are led by experienced music professionals who understand both the technical and creative sides of music production.
A pathway for the future
Children can continue developing through optional RSL Music Production grades before progressing to our Level 2 Music qualification from age 14.

How does Music Production work?
Rather than following a fixed syllabus, every term explores different music production concepts, techniques and creative themes.
Children enjoy a mixture of listening, music theory, structured creative tasks and independent projects, developing practical skills while exploring different styles of music.
Our sessions build week by week, allowing children to develop confidence, creativity and musical understanding in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Every child has music inside them
Music isn't just something we listen to.
It's something we can create.
At BHVA, we believe every child should have the opportunity to explore ideas, experiment with sound and discover the confidence that comes from creating something that's entirely their own.
Whether they're making their very first beat or writing an original soundtrack, every session develops far more than technical skills.
Your child's musical journey doesn't have to stop here
Many young people begin by discovering the joy of creating music in GarageBand before progressing to RSL Music Production Grades, developing their songwriting and recording skills, and, from age 14, moving on to our RSL Level 2 Music qualification. Whatever their ambitions, we'll help them take the next step when they're ready.
Frequently asked questions
Who is Music Production suitable for?
Our Music Production sessions are designed for Home Educated children aged 7+ who enjoy music, creativity and exploring new ideas. Whether your child dreams of producing music or simply loves listening to it, they'll be welcomed into a supportive environment where curiosity and creativity are encouraged.
Does my child need to play an instrument?
Not at all.
One of the biggest myths about music production is that you need to be an instrumentalist before you can create music. Our sessions are designed for complete beginners as well as young people with musical experience, helping every child build confidence from their own starting point.
Does my child need any previous music production experience?
No.
We'll introduce new concepts step by step making sessions accessible for complete beginners while providing opportunities for more experienced learners to continue developing their skills.
Do we need our own iPad or equipment?
No.
We provide the iPads and everything your child needs during the session, so there's no need to purchase any specialist equipment before joining.
What kind of music will they create?
Children explore a wide range of musical styles including pop, film and electronic music, while also having opportunities to experiment with other genres such as classical and musical theatre. Every child is encouraged to develop their own creative ideas and musical interests.
Will they learn music theory too?
Yes
Music production is about much more than using software. Throughout the course, children naturally develop their understanding of rhythm, melody, harmony, song structure and other musical concepts while applying them in practical creative projects.
Can my child work towards a qualification?
Yes, if they'd like to.
As children develop their skills, they may be ready to work towards RSL Music Production Grades. These are entirely optional and provide a recognised way to celebrate and evidence their progress. From age 14, Music Production also provides and excellent foundation for progressing to our Level 2 Music qualification.
Will they get to keep what they create?
Absolutely.
Children are welcome to share their work during sessions if they'd like to, and they'll also be able to take their creations home to continue developing, enjoy with family or simply be proud of what they've achieved.
Can we join during the term?
Yes, subject to availability.
If spaces are available, you're welcome otherwise join at any point during the term. We'll help your child settle into the group and quickly become part of the creative journey.
Still have a question?
Every child is different, and choosing the right activity is an important decision.
If you'd like to talk through whether Music Production is the right fit for your child, we'd be happy to help.
