Class Experience

This one-on-one, learner-directed, tutoring course will help students learn to add professional touches to their music. They will learn things such as how songs of their genre are built, such as pop songs that are constructed from an introduction, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, and outro. Learners will explore ways to add musical interest to their songs and create contrasts through different rhythms, instruments, and melodies. They will learn how to mix their songs by adding volume EQ, dynamic compression, reverb, and any sound filters which would benefit their music.

There are no prerequisites for this course, but I recommend that learners have completed at least a few music lessons on any instrument. This class is designed to be beneficial for beginning and advanced musicians, and I will tailor it to the interests and experience of the learner.

ProTools Intro and Kontakt Komplete Start are both free downloads that require the creation of an account. The programs will work well even if the account is under the parent's name.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the techniques to create professional songs using ProTools Intro. This includes recording software instruments, creating a distinction between melody and harmony, adding rhythm, adjusting the volume, and adding reverb,
