The popularity and influence of Music Production continues to rise, which is being mirrored by its rapid growth in music education. With more and more institutions now introducing it in their teaching, students are being given the opportunity to learn the key skills associated with contemporary music production. Despite this positive start, it is still very early days; with many learners left wanting when it comes to enhancing their creativity based on their own musical tastes.
