The class will also cover essential equipment for both studio and live performance, and tips for getting the most out of both home and studio recording. Taught by Terri Winston. register

Incorporating music into film can seem daunting, both technically and creatively; understanding the technology and tools is the first step toward freeing your artistry. Using an actual professional, original film score as an example, we'll demonstrate, step-by-step, how music is incorporated into a visual medium. No experience necessary.
