Recording Studio Access
Both the Digital Recording classes and the club have access to a real-life recording studio to work in and produce their final products.
Music Production
Music Production at Seattle Academy gives students hands-on access to recording technology and digital audio software, empowering them to compose, produce, and record original music in a creative, multimedia environment. Through both independent exploration and dynamic collaboration, students discover their artistic voice and experience the excitement of bringing music to life.
Music Production is offered as a class for 8th graders and as classes and an after-school club in the Upper School. Students work in a fully-equipped recording studio to create and refine their projects, with opportunities to take on different roles across the many aspects of music production. Guest artists further enrich the program, modeling professional practices and inspiring students to produce work of the highest quality.
Whether they're building their first track or preparing to share their work with a live audience, students gain experience in technical skills, in creative expression, peer collaboration, and in the art of bringing original ideas to life.
Tools and Opportunities
Students in both Middle and Upper School have access to:
- A professional-level recording studio with digital audio workstations.
- Industry-standard software for mixing, editing, and layering sound.
- Teachers with industry experience and guest artists and producers who offer mentorship and real-world insight.
- Community performance opportunities like Block Parties and public showcases.
Students in these classes also learn to take on different creative roles—songwriter, sound engineer, performer, producer—building the flexibility and confidence to work independently or as part of a team.
Produce Your Own Music
Each student has the opportunity to find a unique role in one or more of the many aspects of music production including producing and recording their own music.
