BRIT Kids – Music Production (King’s Cross)

Activity Description

Music production lies at the heart of the music business but is also fundamental to many other creative industries. The skills that the student will acquire in this class will allow them to explore a broad range of fields in music and sound, including audio for moving images. Students will learn how to synthesise/design sounds using electronic software and their own recordings.

These created textures can be used in many different situations, for example:

Producing music (songs and backing tracks etc.)

Recording vocals (singers, rappers, voice actors)

Composing music for games, TV, film and theatre

Recording and designing sounds and effects for games, TV, film and theatre

Live and recorded sound engineering (controlling of sounds for bands and studio recordings).

Sound art

Over the year students will develop the skills and confidence to produce audio using Logic Pro X, which is widely used within the music industry. They will be encouraged to experiment and explore new creative paths, discover how to design sounds through manipulation of digital and recorded sounds and learn the fundamentals of recording and creating their own pieces to build a personal portfolio of sound and music.

These classes run between 9.30am – 2pm and are one and a half hours long.
