ABOUT MPW

A GLOBAL MOVEMENT

Music Production for Women (MPW) is a global movement, community and online education platform which aims to encourage and empower women who are taking their first steps into music production. Founded in East London by artist, producer and Top 50 East London Innovator of 2020, Xylo Aria, MPW aims to provide an environment where individuals identifying as women can feel comfortable and supported through their production journey. 

MPW offers an Introduction to Music Production course which is a hands-on initiative designed to demystify the basics of electronic music production in an accessible and easy-to-follow manner, as well courses and workshops in other areas of music production and mixing.

OUR MISSION

The MPW mission is to instil confidence in any woman interested in approaching music production and to empower her to take the first steps with the backing of our full community. 
About Music Production for Women
Music Production for Women was started with the hope to encourage and empower more women in the field of music production and technology, areas in which women are currently heavily under-represented.

Our aim is to give female musicians the skills necessary to take on the music industry with confidence and to help and guide them through every step of the process through providing education, community support, visible role models and encouragement.

Since it started, MPW has delivered classes to over 6000 students from over 120 countries across the globe.

Although our aim is to improve gender diversity in music, our classes are open to everyone to attend.

COURSES & MEMBERSHIP

As a follow-on to the free Music Production Class for Beginners, MPW offer an 'Introduction to Music Production' online course, directed by founder Xylo Aria. The course, which uses Ableton Live as the teaching Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), takes students right from the basics of what each section of the DAW does to setting up a track, through to the stage of mixing. The course is designed for individuals who may not have previously been introduced to music production and need a course that fits around their schedule. 

The course consists of 7 modules including, Introduction, Drums, Synths, Sampling, Audio Effects, Recording and Mixing which are made up of 5-10 short videos, which go through the vital concepts that a user needs to be familiar with to start producing electronic music. It also includes access to the MPW Community, monthly group mentoring calls, detailed slides for each module, a special discount for Ableton Live and more.  If you're interested in a free trial of the course, please click here. 
Putting the very best of what MPW has to offer, Master Your Music is much more than a music production course. This one year program goes through a full curriculum of weekly masterclasses of topics that every independent artist needs to know to accelerate their music career such as music business, music production, music marketing and PR, mixing and loads more. The course has been designed for artists who are committed to taking their music career into their own hands and creating opportunities for themselves to break into the industry.  

Each masterclass is taught by a renowned expert in the industry in their field, whether that be music production, PR, mixing, live performance etc. A major feature of the program is the group of like-minded peers from around the world that students will gain as a result of attending a weekly, structured program.

In addition to the classes, students have access to all sessions recordings for the duration of the program, monthly mentoring sessions, monthly track feedback from industry professionals, discounts on music software and gear with MPW partners, one to one strategy session with Xylo Aria and lots more. Enrolments for Master Your Music open twice a year. To be the first to know when enrolments will open next, please join the waitlist here.
Learning to produce music by yourself in your home studio can feel quite lonely! To combat this, MPW offer a membership to all producers or those new to it who would love the support of an encouraging community for only £15 a month. Members receive access to our online communities, monthly group mentoring sessions, feedback on tracks, collaborators' lists, special industry list with MPW discounts, first invites to any in person events and more. Please click here to learn more and join the supportive community.

Susan Rogers - Sound engineer for Prince, David Byrne and more

"I wish that 'Music Production for Women' had been around when I was starting out in 1978! A life in the arts is a life in problem solving. So it really helps when we can learn how others have solved some of the problems that we encounter in the music business. And it's nice to compare notes on our tools and techniques in a forum where no false assumptions are made about our aptitude for tech topics!"

Leanne Ungar - Sound engineer for Leonard Cohen and more

"Xylo Aria has created a learning environment where women can find support and reliable information in a comfortable setting. For women who might feel they don’t belong in the “Boy’s Club” of music production, the benefits of a female-centric space cannot be overstated"
