Elevate your music production game while exploring melody, harmony, groove and a head-nodding beat.  

Dom McLennon’s journey to becoming a musician and producer started out in the same way a lot of other creative’s journeys do: letting passion and curiosity drive his exploration. What started out as creating beats with his younger cousin just for fun turned into a spot in the hugely influential and successful hip hop collective, Brockhampton. Today, Dom’s music has gained him hundreds of millions of plays and over 200K followers across social media. 

Now that Dom has spent years developing his own musical production skills, he can’t wait to share what he knows about musical composition and arrangement. Geared toward  musicians who are ready to dig deeper into music production, this class will take you through the essential components of an intro and verse all the way to a full piece.  

With Dom by your side, you’ll:    

  • Learn to create syncopation within your beat and rhythm pattern
  • Discover the power of groove theory to produce music that makes people move
  • Alter the instruments you use within your harmony and melody as you arrange your song
  • Experiment with fade-ins, delays and bounce while exploring sampling

Plus, Dom provides exclusive, downloadable percussion loop samples, which you can use for inspiration or to sample in your songs! 

Whether you’re looking to take your music production to the next level by creating more advanced tracks or this is your first taste of digital music production, this class will help you create a unique musical composition all while giving you a better understanding of how music works. 

You don’t need any musical experience to take Dom’s class. All you’ll need is a computer and a DAW as well as an audio interface and mini controller if you’d like to push your sound even further. If you already have some of these tools, you can follow along with Dom. If not, you can use this class to decide which digital music production equipment and accessories you might want to use as you refine your sound.
