MUSIC DEVELOPMENT & RECORDING
Our authors have ownership over every step of the creative process. Not only words, design, presentation and delivery, but also music.
Whether a live engagement or in a short film, our authors curate and create the music that accompanies their medium of choice.
Professional musicians and composers work with students year-round. Authors are not only introduced to the creative aspects of music writing but also the technical skills needed to record, edit and mix tracks with the most recent technologies and programs.
Particularly for our Just Us film program, authors leave the process with a valuable, employable, and enviable skill set.
