In this fun and interactive workshop, teens will dive into digital music production using Soundtrap, an online studio that allows for the creation of beats, loops, and full songs right in a browser.

Participants will learn how to layer sounds, mix tracks, and experiment with different instruments and effects before leaving the program with their very own original beat or short song to share with friends (or keep for their next viral video). Neither instruments nor experience are required. 

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to navigate Soundtrap’s online music studio
  • Basics of beat-making, song structure, and sound layering
  • Creative techniques for making music with loops and virtual instruments
  • How to export and share your track
