About:
Our popular music making summer camps are now available online! Participants learn how to make their own music in their own style (e.g. Hip Hop, Dance) using the latest software and music production techniques. They come away with their own MP3, their own copy of the software & the skills to continue being creative…

Course Structure:
The course runs for 1 hour every day for a week Monday to Friday. Each class consists of demos and break out sessions in small groups where participants do exercises and get to work on their tracks. Each session links together to give an overall process for making your own track. Exercises are given so that students can continue to work on their music between sessions.

Software & Extras Included!
Students get their own Ableton Intro Software licence to keep, this is included in the price. So they can keep developing their skills after the course finishes. Materials including music samples and devices are also supplied in advance along with access to support tutorials online for reference outside of class.

Tech Set Up:
We have a ‘Tech Check-In’ session in advance to say hello to everyone and make sure everyone can get set up with software and access. We send out a pack with instructions and materials before starting and also provide some 121 support where needed so that everyone is comfortable.

What we do:
We run a set of workshops that can be stand-alone or part of a bigger summer school programme. We arrive with laptops, keyboards etc and run a set of interactive sessions with your group. Participants learn the basics and get to make their own music (e.g. Hip Hop, Dance) using the latest software and hardware.

Structure:
Generally we run our summer schools in two phases. In the first phase participants get to pick up the skills, in the second they’re working on their own track and preparing for performance. There’s flexibility in course structure so we can suit your timetable & budget. E.g. the course can be run over 4 or 5 days, with 2-5 hours tuition per day.

Outcomes:
All our summer courses are geared toward an end goal, e.g. finished tracks & a public performance. Participants come away with their own published MP3 of their work. Students can ‘live mix’ and trigger their compositions using MIDI controllers to whatever degree of difficulty suits their level of confidence.

Student Benefits:
Aside from having good fun along the way, students benefit from gaining creative confidence and equipping themselves with music technology know-how for creating further music. There’s also lots of angles for personal development such as performing individual creations in front of others.
