School of Electronic Music 220 Chapel Street, Salford M3 5LE

"UPDATE: I originally gave it 1 star but changed to 3 on reflection, being in the industry a while I thought this wasn’t fair on the tutors that will have years of experience teaching & sharing their knowledge, the let down was though bad management of follow up calls & bad CS. Original review: Although I have heard great things about this place, I had 2 calls booked with two different people over a period of a couple of months (because the first caller never followed up) after I reached out wanting some be-spoke lessons. The 2nd caller never got back to me either. My enquiry was left hanging. It felt like the bespoke interest wasn't an interest of theirs as they were booked up for a while & even though we did discuss the possibility of me signing up to a course, there has been no follow up over a long period , it doesn’t make it a bad school but if you can’t get past the first stages it’s defo bad CS or sales."

"SEM definitely helped me on my path, the tutors and courses are great no matter what your learning curve is, they will assist you. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get into the industry and have enjoyed and will miss working with their team."

"I completed the Music Business course over lock down. It was a great experience! The course was very well planned and thorough, covering lots of different aspects of the music industry. The tutors were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I feel that I have gained an insight into the music industry and I have met some lovely people. The business plan assignment enables you to start making your ideas a reality."

"I joined SEM on a whim towards the end of 2019 studying music production & composition with zero knowledge nor experience. I started 2021 feeling equipped and skilled enough to write and produce my first album :) This is a really special school that has been a game-changer for me. The facilities are quality and the staff are a bunch of passionate and talented souls who go that extra mile when it comes to nurturing/developing their students. I wasted no time in jumping on the business module course when i had the chance which has been massively helpful in preparing my campaign. It's always a treat to study around like-minded musicians, so it's very easy to fit in and make a home out of the place. I couldn't recommend it enough and i'll be back when i have some spare cash! A."

"I would fully recommend their courses. I started out with zero production knowledge so I decided to do both the introduction course followed by the advanced mixing and mastering. The tuition was brilliant and the skills I picked up were invaluable to making professional quality music within 12 months. There is so much conflicting and confusing information online which can end up being a massive waste of time, so investing time and money into a course with SEM will be of huge benefit to any beginners or intermediate music producers looking to enhance the quality of their music. In addition it was also a great way to meet lots of like minded people who have similar interests."
