This program will include hands-on instruction with engineers and producers from Interscope Records, Mideast Records and credited producers/engineers.

Music Composition/Songwriting ? Students learn songwriting theory, creative writing techniques and get experience working with published singers/songwriters and producers who will help students develop songs with industry tracks and professional critiquing.

Digital Photography ? While this course focuses on modern photography techniques and digital camera equipment, students will also learn photography theory and the evolution of the profession. Participants will enjoy hands-on challenges and workshops led by published fashion and entertainment photographers.
