Details about this class

This class doesn't require advanced instrument playing, but it's much harder if you don't have a musical background of some sort.

The final project is a recording of a song that you've written in the class. The song must be recorded, and we'll be touching on what DAWs are, and the free DAW of Bandlab, but even a phone recording would work, so don't let that stop you.

Technology

There is no additional technology required for this class.

No show policy

Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class. It is important to log in as soon as the class starts to see what the participation requirements are.
