This class will teach each member of the class how to learn rock and roll band charts, how to perform band charts on their instrument, how to record their performance of the chart in the comfort of their own home so we can combine tracks to make an album!! Instruments needed are guitar, bass guitar, drums, percussion, keyboards (piano, synth, organ, etc), trumpet, trombone, sax, and vocals! Each student should have a minimum of one year experience on their instrument. Week 1: In the first week of the class chosen songs will be handed out to each student (PDF's uploaded to the classroom) and we will discuss how to read and interpret these charts. Students will be sent to practice these charts with practice audio tracks provided in the classroom. Week 2: We will discuss how to record your part on various devices (iPhone, laptop, Garageband, etc) as well as how to upload recordings up to the classroom. Students will then spend the week recording "rough drafts" of their parts and then submit them via the classroom. Week 3: We will review these recordings in class offering fixes, tweaks, updates, corrections, etc. Then students will need to individually re-record their parts for the "final draft" version to compiled in the final track. Week 4: We will compile the audio submitted and create the final draft version of our album!
