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, bass, or drum set, take it home, plug it into a computer, play, record, and collaborate with other students. In School of Rock you can learn how to play guitar, use a MIDI controller, use a DAW (digital audio workstation – Soundtrap.com), record music, publish music, learn some music history, and even learn a little about music theory with many resources, including HookTheory.com, to compose your own music. Yes! All this in a supportive, collaborative learning environment.
