This is an old class! Check out the current classes, or sign up for our mailing list to see if we'll offer this one again.

Have a smart phone? Tablet? Macbook? Then you are a few small and VERY affordable steps away from having professional music making tools at your disposal. Mobile technology has made writing, recording, and performing music easier and more accessible than ever before. No previous experience necessary.

In this class we'll go through the first steps of using your devices to create music. We will write and record a song together as a class, demo the best free/cheap software and hardware options, and discuss the implications of a democratized music industry.

(class size: 20-25, lecture, demo, and discussion. This class will focus on apps available for Apple computers, tablets and phones.)
