About the Course

Different genres use different methods and musical elements to communicate. Different genres also represent different parts of not only musical history, but also technological history. Understanding the connection between genres, tools, methods and musical expressions is the goal of this course.

They will learn about popular music history, combined with music production history. We will practice the production methods of different eras and genres. Together with the composers, who are learning arrangement, we will recreate some classic sounds.
