Background Beat Kitchen began with a vision: to provide a place for creatives to play with their food. We help musical mad scientists, hungry beat makers, and curious rookies learn a broad and plastic set of music production skills. Our teachers are like our students: talented, intellectually curious, and deeply conscientious. We are continuous learners. We are experts and beginners. Some of us are misfits and dreamers. We are unified by our desire to learn and explore. We are a community of artists and innovators who want to elevate the craft of music production and change the discussion around it. THE TEAM To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key. OUR INSTRUCTORS ...are the embodiment of our core values. Our instructors are not only working professionals in the industry, they are also really great people who bring musicality, respect, and great vibes to each and every class. 100% FACULTY DONATED SCHOLARSHIPS Not only do we believe in giving back, we are doing it ourselves. We are fully bootstrapped: we are self-funded so we get to choose when and how we donate our time. We recognize there are systemic imbalances in our industry and in the creative world as a whole. If you can't afford a program, we still really want you to apply. LIVE 24/7 COMMUNITY The classroom is just the beginning. We believe in asking questions after-hours (via our Slack community), pushing accountability by showing up for workday sessions, and by attending live office-hours in our online music production schools.

Welcome to Beat Kitchen Seattle, where creatives go to make noise. New York City Hello Seattle! As the founder of Beat Kitchen, I (Nathan) am based out of Seattle. A number of us are here, but Beat Kitchen meets primarily on our Discord. While we have partnerships studios in a few key locations, our residents are distributed across the world. Having a school that focuses on small, intimate groups requires critical mass and it's difficult to maintain that in any given city. We are looking to grow, but in the meantime we only offer occasional in-person meetings and events. Be sure to check back frequently as our list of partners and partner cities is growing! Beat Kitchen is still Seattle's best place to learn about music production. We serve the Seattle area and offer our exclusive lineup of courses to the world — live — through our tiny virtual classroom/labs. Seattle's rich musical history is an inspiring backdrop to our lineup. Having spawned visionaries like Quincy Jones, Jimmy Hendrix, and Nirvana, Seattle's music and tech scene is vibrant as evidenced by (for example) an active creative coding and vital modular synth community. Beat Kitchen is a school that functions like a residency: a lab for you to work through your ideas in a creative and supportive environment. Our artist-instructors and our community stand by as your production allies as you explore crafts such as songwriting, digital music production, mixing, synthesis and sound design, audio and recording techniques.
