This hands-on program introduces artists to the exciting world of loop-based music production. Participants will explore the building blocks of beats and melodies by experimenting with digital loops, rhythms, and textures to create complete songs. Each session includes guided exercises, group collaborations, and opportunities to personalize projects using both pre-made and self-recorded sounds. By the end of the program, participants will have produced their own original tracks and gained confidence in digital music creation and arrangement.
No prior experience required! Loop Lab is for people 16 and older and is open to mixed-ability participants and community members.
The skills that you will be acquiring from this class include digital music production, rhythm creation, song arrangement, sampling, and collaborative composition.
You will enjoy this class if you love making beats, exploring digital sounds, or discovering new ways to express creativity through music.
