Curriculum = Music Production + Sound Engineering
MUSIC THEORY
Music theory is the foundation of every song. This module includes guidance for fundamental music concepts such as pitch, notes, intervals, major keys, minor keys, chords, and chord progressions.
COMPOSING
Music Composition will help you achieve a perfectly finished music tune from a bunch of loops. It includes various elements like rhythm, beats, harmony, applying vocals, finishing, etc. We help you enhance the skills like making the right phrasing of the tune, calculation of notes in any particular phrase, commercial value in a tune, etc
ARRANGEMENT
The Arrangement module includes laying the various music pieces along a timeline to build a final piece of track. The course also includes Ableton Live, which has an Arrangement View to arrange, edit, and finish songs.
DAW
In this module, you will learn the basic features, functions and workflow of DAWs through hands-on training and lectures on basics. DAW module also includes the process of creating templates, recording audio, MIDI, and much more.
RECORDING
Once the song is written, the recording is the next step. The Recording module is based on imparting knowledge about various recording techniques, understanding various tools, and most importantly, the right method of recording.
Sound Processing
Sound Processing involves comprehensive learning about various tools and techniques used for making music. You will learn about equilisation, modulation, delay, reverb, compression, distortion, etc.
