Music Production Classes With a Musical Foundation
Music production classes help students understand how to build, arrange and complete music inside a DAW.
Younger or local students can learn practical production foundations here. Pianists, keyboard players and songwriters with previous music knowledge should also consider Pianist to Producer, the premium international programme.

Teaching approach
Lessons build a repeatable workflow: set up a project, create musical material, arrange sections, record or program MIDI, edit details, balance sounds and export the track.
Why Hashini's approach is different
Hashini keeps the musical and technical sides connected, so students understand what they are building rather than only copying software clicks.
What students and parents can expect
Students receive practical guidance and realistic project goals. Lessons do not promise instant industry success.
Fee guidance
Group lessons are LKR 6,000/month for four 2-hour lessons. One-to-one lessons are LKR 24,000/month for four 2-hour private lessons. The suitable format is confirmed after reviewing the student's age, level, goals and schedule.
