Production Is a Trade. Learn It Where You Can Finish Songs.
Seattle still makes music. Kirkland is close enough to that scene and small enough that you can get time on the tools.
Music production at Northwest University’s Creatio Center is for students who want to record, produce, and ship work in church, indie, and commercial contexts.
Collaborate with film, worship, and design majors. Study at a university that treats beauty as more than a market.
