About this class

Behind every live concert, film, album recording, and TV show is a dedicated team of audio professionals who make the technical work of sound come alive. Spend your time in the recording studio learning about concepts like signal flow, microphone placement, studio and live sound recording, music productions, mixing, mastering, and more! Spy Hop audio apprentices run Open Studio every Friday from 3-7 pm, providing free recording sessions for youth musicians. With hands-on production projects and real-world studio experiences that will prepare you for your future career, your time as an apprentice will leave you with a portfolio of your work.

Plus, you’ll earn a $100 stipend for your work; students are expected to complete all projects to receive it.
