Fundamentals of Music Production I

Fundamentals of Music Production is a beginner-friendly, hands-on course designed for aspiring producers, artists, and creatives who want to understand how modern music is created—from idea to finished track.

This course breaks down the core concepts of music production in a clear, practical way, covering the tools, techniques, and workflows used in today’s studios. Students learn how to build beats, arrange songs, record audio, and shape sound using industry-standard digital audio workstations (DAWs) and production techniques.

Through guided lessons and real-world projects, students develop essential skills in:

• DAW navigation and session setup

• Beat making and song arrangement

• MIDI, virtual instruments, and sampling

• Basic recording techniques

• Introductory mixing concepts (levels, EQ, compression, effects)

• Creative workflow and production best practices

Taught by Wilkis “Ideology” Figuereo, a seasoned audio professional, educator, and Avid-certified instructor, this course emphasizes not only technical skills but also creative confidence and industry awareness. Students leave with a solid foundation in music production and the ability to start creating their own original music with intention and clarity.

Perfect for beginners with little to no experience, as well as artists looking to gain more control over their sound.
