Music Melbourne Trip Reflections

Yesterday, Year 10 and 11 Music classes had the privilege of going on excursion to the Art Centre Melbourne to participate in a workshop where we learnt how to produce music. The workshop leader, Ryan Powderly, was very down to earth and taught us how to use the software with much expertise and encouragement, creating a very collaborative environment amongst the students attending. Over the course of the workshop, we discovered the software Ableton Live, where students were taught how to create their own music, beats, melodies and sound. I personally really enjoyed the creative freedom we had, and that we had access to professional gear and software.

On the 21st of October, the year 11 VCE and year 10 music students participated in a composition workshop at the Arts Centre in Melbourne. The workshop leader, Ryan Powderly, taught us how to use a software called Ableton live, an app used to mix beats and layer tracks to create a song. Each student created their own piece, in their own different styles that they presented to the other students at the end of the sessions. I really enjoyed this experience as it was something I had never explored before, and it was something different and I found it really fun to experiment with all the different tracks and effects.
