Introduction to Computer Assisted
Songwriting - Level - Beginner
This introductory session will open up your mind to
the infinite possibilities available to you when you use computers to write
music. In this session, music will be created with input from
student and instructor. Once you have seen what these tools can do for you, you
will never look at songwriting the same way again. If:
you've never used a computer to help you
write music,
you can't play a musical instrument
but you would love to write music if it were as easy as pointing and
clicking,
you play an instrument but would like
to have a band (computer) at your fingertips available whenever you want
to jam,
you are an innocent bystander who
is curious about music technology,
or you have music in your head
that needs to get out but you don't know how to do it,
you will want to attend one of these
sessions.
Computers not only allow you to record, they also allow you to cut and paste music,
or draw it. You have absolute control over every note. You can select any
combination of musical instruments to play your music. You can literally
write a symphony just by pointing and clicking.
Imagine hearing the music playing live as you
are composing it and changing it and rearranging it. Imagine having an orchestra with instruments from around the world all
at your command doing exactly what you want them to. Maybe you
want that piano part doubled by an oboe or a distorted electric guitar. Or
both.
The technology is here and
getting cheaper every year and if you like music, you need to know about
it. If you have never been exposed to this part of songwriting or even if you have never
written music before, when you see how easy it is to do, you may find yourself
with a new hobby or career on your hands.
Private sessions are 2 hours long and cost $40.00.
Bring a friend for only $20.00 more. You will come away with a greater awareness of the infinite
possibilities available to you. You will learn different ways of
thinking about music. All of your questions will be answered.
Sessions are on Saturdays.
