Description: Music, more or less, is an integral part of everyday life for the average person. Its presence may appear more discreetly in the form of hearing a song in an ad, or more intentionally such as in the thorough analysis of an album. To best receive what music has to offer in this world of diversifying styles and genres, it may be valuable to understand how to create your own music. This course attempts to tackle the objective that is teaching music production by asking the question: What makes a good song? Through a series of units that catalog different styles of music spanning from alternative rock to contemporary rap, this class will explore what it means to understand music by deconstructing its very essence. Students will learn the basics of music theory, and the process of production within many differing styles in order to be able to create their own pieces of music.
