Bronx Science’s Digital Music Lab classes present the opportunity for students to expand their knowledge of music theory and the science behind production and sound. In a workshop-style class, they learn the technical aspects of sound design including waveform manipulation, audio engineering, and the use of digital audio workstations (DAWs). Students explore the relationship between acoustics and technology, studying how sound behaves in different environments and how it can be shaped to achieve specific artistic effects. Furthermore, they learn how to use tools such as synthesizers, mixers, and recording equipment, allowing them to produce, edit, and mix music. Learning the reality behind music innovation. MIDI keyboards or MIDI controllers are used individually to create projects. This blend of theory and practical skills prepares students to create professional music while deepening their appreciation for the complexities of sound. Students complete free-reign projects online, making songs individually and in groups.
