Course Description (Summer School)

Overview of the yearlong course: capitalcomtech.info/rock

No experience necessary. In this program, you get to check out an electric guitar, take it home, plug it into a computer, play, record, and collaborate with other students. In School of Rock, you learn how to play guitar, use a MIDI controller, use a DAW (digital audio workstation), record music, publish music, learn some music history, and even learn a little about music theory to compose your own music. Yes! All this!
