Recording Studio Mentoring

Offered Tuesdays & Thursdays, year-round, from 3:00 - 5:00 pm.

Recording Studio Mentoring is a mentor-facilitated program where teens learn the basics of the software and equipment available to them in the studio, and receive instruction and guidance on a variety of specific recording and producing skills and techniques. Once teens have taken Studio 101, they are free to utilize the Recording Studio on their own or with peers to record and produce their own music.

It is also a place where teens can work on projects and utilize the studio equipment and software under guidance of an experienced mentor. Whether new to recording or a seasoned producer, it can be helpful to have another set of hands, eyes and ears to tackle a project or try to capture a sound.

Equipment/Software Available
