Our Electronic Music department is designed for our students to experiment, create and become the artists and producers they want to be. Access to the right gear and equipment is a top priority, so you’ll be using the proper software and hardware, vintage and state-of-the-art, from day one. We’ve also partnered with companies like Pioneer DJ, Roland, Avid (ProTools), Ableton, Slate Digital, Steinberg (Cubase) and Novation to make sure you can learn using the right equipment.
We’re also very proud of our collaboration with Toolroom records, one of the world’s most innovative dance music brands. We partner with organisations like Toolroom to bring A&R opportunities and music industry advice, so you can learn from inside the electronic music industry.
Check out our roster of tutors and mentors too. We have some of the UK’s top producers and artists that teach on our courses, all of them dedicated to music and to helping you reach your goals.
At WaterBear, we’re proud to work with some of the industry’s most accomplished music professionals. Tutors and mentors who are all highly experienced at every level of the music industry, alongside our visiting faculty who bring their wealth of experience in the form of in-class masterclasses and Q&A’s sessions throughout the year. As working professionals, the tutoring and visiting faculty team may be subject to occasional change and availability may vary.
Music industry guest visits take place throughout the year, showcasing some of the best artists and innovators in today’s music. Our guest programme varies each year and some of our recent guests are shown below.
We caught up with WaterBear Sheffield tutor @charlagreenuk who teaches the production tools, composition with technology and electronic performance courses, about her recent performance at iconic London club @xoyoldn! Charla is a DJ, producer and artist among many other things and here she also gives some sound advice to any up-and-coming DJ’s.
