Music Composing Club

Write and produce your own music – from songwriting to DJ work.

About the Club

This club provides opportunities for students to write and produce their own music while experiencing DJ work.

Members learn songwriting basics through online video lessons, experiment with music technology like Ableton or FL Studio, practice for school performances, and publish music online. The club aims to become a “record label” supporting young songwriters with producing, branding, and marketing their music.
