Introduction to Digital Audio Workstation
Around the Conservatory

Introduction to Digital Audio Workstation

Over the summer, we officially launched our newest program – Music Technology – and rolled out the first class offering, Introduction to Digital Audio Workstation, led by Dr. Alexander Zhu. Youth and adults joined the course, some with no prior experience and others looking to improve existing skills. In the one-week crash course, students explored the basics of music production using Logic Pro. They learned to record, edit, and mix tracks, transforming them into a finished project. The classroom was filled with curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, proving that anyone, regardless of experience, can learn music production. The class is an ongoing offering as part of the Music Technology program and can be taken during the regular school year. See below for an interview with Alexander Zhu that further discusses the program.
