Through eighteen online lessons with individual sub-chapters targeted to those interested and eager to learn more about music production, Mark will educate beginners on how to tackle songwriting, recording, production as well as advice on how to successfully collaborate with other musicians to create genre defying and timeless music. 

I'm doing this so that any young kids curious about producing, or people who are starting out, or just music fans who are wondering if they want to get into it, can see how to produce music," Mark explains, "It's usable, accessible content". 

 "Whether it's chopping breaks or mic-ing drums, or a more holistic understanding of how to collaborate with artists. It's a bunch of things that I've learned over 25 years, the insight and foresight I've amassed, packaged in a nice little lesson series."

The 18 bespoke course lessons include: What makes a great producer, Sample-based production, Serving the song, The power of knowledge, Developing ideas, Educate yourself, Preparing the session, Building the production, Extra 'ear candy' and Tones, colours and textures a well as collaborations from the GRAMMY award winning rapper, Jon Bellion, singer Niya Norwood,  GRAMMY winning engineer, mixer and producer, Ricky Damian and The Frightners drummer and vocalist, Richard Terrana. 

Upon completion of the course, viewers will gain an advanced understanding of the production process, an authentic insight into recording a track and how the end result will be a patchwork quilt of trial and error. Giving a rare look into how he has created some of his biggest hits such as Nothing Breaks Like A Heart and Uptown Funk, those involved will gain a respectable knowledge on the art of music production.
