Who is it for?
Students aged 14–18 with a basic knowledge of Logic Pro, who want to move to the next level within music production.
What can I expect?
A mixture of group sessions and one-to-one feedback to ensure that you collaborate and learn from other participants, as well as getting individual guidance and support.
Each term will see you learn a number of new skills and features, which will see you create your own piece of music.
At the end of the three terms, you will have a good understanding of Logic Pro and will be able to confidently create your own music.

You will learn how to record and edit, gain an understanding of audio manipulation techniques and create a piece of music using audio clips.

You will learn how to use MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) and the technical principles of synthesis, waveforms and modulation of synthesized sounds. You will finish the term with a piece of music that you created using software synthesizers.
Term three
You will learn how various effects and processing principles are used in the process of bringing a piece of music to a professional level and will put these into practice. By the end of the course, you will have mixed and mastered your own audio track.
