The program for you who want to explore the exciting world of digital music production, develop your musical skills, experience concerts and festivals, and go on a study trip to New York.

Produce and create music

At Beats Production you’ll learn:

You’ll spend plenty of time producing in your preferred DAW—FL Studio, Ableton, Logic, Cubase, or others. Guidance comes from established artists/producers, with access to professional hardware and software. You can also bring your own gear.

Work in a professional studio, learning to sample, write, record, make beats, and promote yourself as an artist/producer. The goal: have fun while releasing your music. Find more info on Rødde Folk High School’s website, and check TikTok for production tips.

Near Trondheim – close to the city, close to nature.

Rødde Folk High School is located just outside Trondheim – the “big little city” offering food, history, art, culture, nature, shopping, and much more. At the same time, you’ll have mountains and forests right nearby, with opportunities for hiking, climbing, and skiing in Vassfjellet. It truly gives you the best of both worlds: the energy of the city and the calm of nature.

A school day at Rødde can mean fresh snow under your feet, hours in the studio creating new tracks, cultural exchange on exciting trips abroad, and countless opportunities to try something new. At Rødde, you don’t just pursue your interests – you share experiences and learn together with people who may become your closest friends.

Here, you’ll have the freedom to learn and grow without the pressure of exams and grades. You’ll build knowledge and skills while also experiencing personal growth and development. This is a place to create, explore, and step outside your comfort zone in a safe environment. No wonder our students often say: “This is the best year of my life!”

My year at Rødde has given me so much. I had written songs for years but never produced any. Now I can produce music, have made great friends and learned about myself. Skilled teachers make it easy to challenge yourself. (Translated)
