What will students be learning and doing?
Across the four weeks, students will be gently guided through the process of creating and recording music, helping them understand how songs are actually made and what happens behind the scenes in a real studio environment.
By the end of the course, students will have a clear sense of how music production works, feel confident using basic recording tools and - most importantly - understand whether this is an area of music they'd like to explore further.
The aim isn't perfection or performance, but confidence, curiosity, collaboration and giving young people a positive first experience of music technology that they can build on at their own pace or in longer more in depth courses.
