Music and Media 2 is the second of a two-course sequence. In level 2, students will continue the work of the first term in creating music using digital audio workstations and music sequencers. Students will then begin to use video production equipment and video-editing software to create and upload their audio-visual productions to video-sharing websites. Topics include recording, editing, and producing audio; composing and arranging music on a computer; using music software on mobile devices; and creating and integrating video with music. As the course progresses, students build their own website to promote themselves as professional musicians. Self-reflection and self-evaluation are promoted throughout the course.
