WEEK BY WEEK
8 weeks, one clear path
Weeks 1-2
Getting to Know the Studio
We’ll explore how a real recording studio works! Students will learn the language, how to use microphones, headphones, and recording software while getting comfortable creating in a fun, supportive environment.
Weeks 3-4
Recording & Creating
Time to jump in! Students will record their voices and instruments, learn how to layer sounds, and start building their own mini projects.
Weeks 5-6
Voice & Songwriting | DJing
Students will explore two different creative paths across these weeks. In week 5, they’ll dive into writing lyrics, creating melodies, and recording vocals. In week 6, we’ll explore DJing — mixing songs, matching beats, and building a simple set.
Weeks 7-8
Music Production | Game & Film Scoring
Students will explore two more creative paths. In week 7, they’ll create beats and build tracks from scratch. In week 8, they’ll experiment with music for film and video games, learning how to make sounds that tell a story.
