6-week course overview
-
In this course, your child will be introduced to Reason, a powerful digital audio workstation that's widely used by professionals and beginners alike. Theyβll start by exploring the softwareβs interface, learning how to use its tools to create and manipulate sounds. From understanding basic concepts like tempo and rhythm to experimenting with different instruments and effects, your child will gain a strong foundation in music production. This hands-on experience with Reason will empower them to start turning their musical ideas into reality.

Throughout the course, your child will develop key skills that are fundamental to music production. Theyβll dive into MIDI programming, learning how to create and arrange digital notes to form melodies and beats. In composition, theyβll discover how to structure a song, balancing harmony, melody, and rhythm. The recording sessions will teach them how to capture sounds, whether itβs their voice or instruments, while the editing process will show them how to polish their tracks, adjusting levels, and refining their work. These skills will not only help them create music during the course but also serve as a foundation for future musical endeavors.

By the end of the course, your child will have the opportunity to apply everything they've learned by crafting their own unique song. From the first note to the final mix, theyβll take full creative control, making choices about the style, mood, and elements of their track. This project allows them to express their individuality and creativity, resulting in a piece of music thatβs entirely their own. The process of creating a complete song will give them a sense of accomplishment and pride, as they see their ideas come to life.

To celebrate their hard work and achievements, each child will receive an e-certificate upon completing the course. This certificate not only serves as a recognition of the skills theyβve developed but also as a memento of their creative journey. Itβs a great way for them to share their accomplishment with family and friends, and it can be a motivating reminder of their potential in music. This certificate is more than just a piece of paper; itβs a symbol of their growth, creativity, and newfound confidence in their musical abilities.
βThe Saturday Club has been a wonderful learning experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and enables learners to develop at their own pace but with support. They learn new skills, and build on skills from the previous week. It's a fun and engaging course. Highly recommend!β
