Music: A Week in the Studio

Students will spend one week learning the ins and outs of working in a professional music studio environment. Whether students play a musical instrument, love to work with computer software, are master organizers, or have never even considered making music, they will all find themselves part of a team working towards a common goal – recording a song!  Students will write, record, and mix using a digital audio workstation (DAW); configure microphones to capture sound; create/plan the flow of a studio session, and learn the basics of releasing and promoting their work.

In this one week class, students will

• Generate creative musical ideas through brainstorming and mind-mapping 
• Plan, organize, and execute a studio session 
• Write, record, and mix music using a digital audio workstation (DAW)
• Learn to choose and operate microphones to capture the desired sound
• Learn the basics of releasing and promoting art
