Beats & Barrels

Welcome to Beats & Barrels!

Ready to tap into your inner producer? Join us for a hands-on beatmaking workshop led by a Berklee Master's Grad and professional music producer! Whether you're brand new to music-making or looking to sharpen your skills, this class is designed for all levels.

Using GarageBand, you'll learn how to build your own beats from scratch—exploring rhythm, loops, layering, and basic mixing techniques. All you need is an iPad or Mac (GarageBand pre-installed), and we’ll provide the rest: expert guidance, creative inspiration, and a supportive space to explore your sound.

And of course, enjoy a glass of incredible wine from NW Manzanita’s curated selection—because great beats pair well with great pours. First glass of wine is included!
