Manchester Electronic Sound School

Based in Studio 114 at Islington Mill, the Salford arts complex that's hosted Björk and Peaches and become one of the city's most-loved independent venues since 2000. Five electronic music production modules (Electronic & Dance Music Production, Sound Design & Creative Processing, Composition & Arrangement, Improvisation & Performance, Mix Down & Mastering Fundamentals), each 8 to 10 lessons over 2 to 3 months, priced individually at £720 to £950 or bundled with a multi-module discount up to 10%.

All five together (44 lessons, 12 months) run £3,499 paid upfront or £3,649 on a payment plan. 1-on-1 sessions start at £110 for a single 3-hour session, up to £900 for a 10-session, 30-hour bespoke package.

Worth flagging: the limited company behind the school, Manchester Electronic Sound School Limited, was dissolved at Companies House in December 2025, though the website remains live and actively trading: unclear whether it now operates as a sole trader or the entity structure has simply lapsed administratively.
