Beat Lab gives students a hands-on introduction to digital music production and beatmaking. In this 30-minute session, a Notes for Notes producer will guide students through tools like Ableton Live and MIDI keyboards while they learn how beats are built from the ground up. Students will explore sequencing, sampling, beat-matching, and layering sounds to create a track of their own. This is a good fit for students who are interested in producing music, making beats, electronic sounds, hip-hop, pop, or learning how songs are created on a computer.
