Days 1-19: End-to-End Writing and Production

In this portion of the class, Charlie goes through the entire writing and production process, creating an original song in real time, from start to finish. He goes through the entire song development process, including how he comes up with ideas and starts a song, writes melodies and lyrics, records harmonies, produces synths, drums, bass, and other instrumentals, and mixes and finishes the track. You’ll follow Charlie step-by-step and finish this portion with your own original song.

Days 20-30: Exploring New Sounds and Styles
