Music
AT THE BAY SCHOOL
Bay’s music program offers an engaging selection of elective and Immersive courses. Performance classes are centered on the art of jazz, while the electronic music series lets students try their hand at all aspects of song recording and production. Electronic Music 1A
Learn audio engineering and music production by working with digital audio software, such as Reason and Logic, and a MIDI keyboard. Your first major project will be a music autobiography, to gain proficiency in recording, editing, and mixing. Then, you’ll produce and mix one full song. Throughout the engineering and production process, you’ll also learn about the fundamentals of sound and the history and structure of various types of music. Gain skills in song arrangement, crafting a rhythm section and melody, chord progressions, and how to use effects to add texture to their songs. Class recordings will be released on Soundcloud and Bandcamp.
Electronic Music 1B
Advance your knowledge of production, recording, mixing, and editing with Logic software tools. Students will produce one fulllength song and remix each other’s songs. In addition to honing their production and mixing skills, you’ll learn how to master songs and set up a studio and listening room. Songs will be released on Soundcloud and Bandcamp.
