Beatmaking and Songwriting (8-12 yrs)
Wednesday 19th February, 10.00 - 17.00 (£76)
Ever wondered how your favourite songs are written and produced in the studio? In this special edition of this popular course, together we will create a beat from scratch, experimenting with different instruments, iconic song samples and sounds from one computer and a midi keyboard. We will create our own rap/song lyrics as a team and even record your vocals together in our pop-up music studio! Watch your idea grow into a finished song. Bring any instruments you play, and we may incorporate them. Our goal is to complete one finished track and upload it to YouTube, SoundCloud & Instagram to amaze your friends and family. No prior musical knowledge needed, just come and find out how creative you can be!
