Course Offerings
MUSIC: Digital Groove – Beat Making with Pro Tools (Mon & Tues)
Ready to create your own music? In this class, you’ll learn how to make awesome beats using the same Pro Tools software that your favorite artists use. You’ll discover how to build cool drum patterns, craft catchy bass lines, and mix all your sounds together to create your own unique tracks. We start with the basics, so don’t worry if you’ve never made music before—your creativity is all you need! By the end of our sessions, you’ll have your very own original beats to share with friends and family. Join us to turn the music you hear in your head into tracks everyone can enjoy!
We strongly encourage students to attend all sessions in the first three weeks, as ProTools is highly technical and requires foundational skills. Missing classes during this period may make it difficult to keep up with the course. Please feel welcome to discuss any concerns with the Program Director.

Level up your art game and bring your imagination to life in this dynamic digital illustration class! Whether sketching epic characters, designing streetwear graphics, or learning to visually tell your story, this hands-on, creative lab will teach you the tools pro artists use daily.

No experience is needed—bring your creativity, and we’ll provide the rest!
