What You'll Learn
Fundamentals of Ableton Live
Learn to build compelling loops, grooves, and textures by combining drum machines, samplers, and software instruments into tight, musical patterns. Capture performances and sounds by recording and editing audio with precision, then arrange your ideas into full tracks using a modern digital audio workstation. Finally, apply basic mixing techniques and effects to shape tone, space, and dynamics so your productions sound polished and ready to share.
Learn Move
All in-person students will learn to use and perform on Move - an intuitive device for playing music, programming beats and controlling Ableton Live. Move is a great first device for aspiring music producers and we are happy to provide one for each student to use during classes.
Showcasing your music
Every course concludes with a showcase where your music can be shared at a community show or distributed on the streaming and download services of your choice.
