Antyx Thursday Hip-Hop Club
Week 2: Using FL Studio
Program Description:
DJ Activity: For our first session, youth will learn the first steps of beat-making in FL Studio, using samples that they have gathered during the music-sharing portion of the class. We will create a simple music pattern and learn how to count bars. This will benefit the youth by allowing them to discover a newfound skill and giving them the confidence to start thinking about making their own music. Youth will be asked to bring a song they would like to sample for the next class.
Weekly Goal & Lesson: Find out and share what artists and genres you like and learn about sampling techniques. We will discuss music taste and what inspires us when creating music and/or any art form. The youth will be encouraged to share their personal music taste and get started with beat creation.
