Do you want to explore playing an instrument, learn how to speak the musician’s language, and create music with a group? Join us for a dynamic summer in Songwriting & Production! Each student will choose one instrument of focus, and all students will develop vocal skills. Every student will be involved in the process of creating music, no prior experience is needed! Find your inner producer and explore the possibilities of composing digital music in Soundtrap, a web-based music production workspace.
Students will also learn about famous venues in Los Angeles, which will inspire an art project where they will design and build their own “Shoebox Venue."
