Curriculum Overview
The Music Production 2 curriculum builds on foundational concepts by introducing students to intermediate and advanced music production techniques using Ableton Live. Each unit begins with a focused concept video that introduces core production ideas, followed by short, targeted exercises that allow students to immediately apply what they’ve learned.
Students work directly within the same Ableton Live sessions as their instructors, creating a shared, hands-on learning environment that reinforces professional workflows. As the course progresses, students complete larger, project-based assignments that synthesize skills such as sampling, synthesis, recording, and arrangement, culminating in a final project that showcases their technical and creative growth.
