Develop essential skills for powerful, versatile storytelling in words and pictures, including writing, drawing, visual language, crafting narratives, developing characters, and inking.
The rich history of beatmaking has its roots in hip hop but has expanded to encompass a wide range of musical expression. Learn the fundamentals of beatmaking using a digital audio workstation such as Garageband or Ableton Live on personal devices such as an IPad, IPhone or Desktop Computer. Each week students will dive into a new aspect of composition and production first as a group activity, then given the opportunity to work on individual projects, culminating in a fully mixed track ready for sharing. Students learn sampling, MIDI drums and melodies and recording, with some historical context mixed in. No prior experience necessary.
