General Information

Original music is what moves music forward, and PopRock Academy is a fan. We love to nurture new original artists and help them develop their own voice and sound. We want our students to grow aside from being a performer, as original artists. Our songwriting and composition program is taught by professional songwriters and composers who has years of experience nurturing young minds. We offer private one on one lessons where students will learn the technical aspect of songwriting and composition as well as guide our students towards production of their written music.

Requirements

Students who wish to take private lessons in songwriting and composition should have fundamental keyboard skills and a foundation in music theory. Students can learn to compose both writing notated music, as well as music composition using software such as Logix ProX and/or Protools.

Curriculum

Songwriting and composition students will work with an instructor to create their original music. Songwriters will work with veteran songwriters who have written and released original songs while composition students will work with established composers who are well versed in the art of music compositions. Students will bring in original material weekly to the lesson to the instructor, who will provide valuable feedback and notes for the students to take home to work on.

Masterclass, Performance and Recordings

Once students have songs or compositions that are performance ready, students will work together with their instructor to prepare for live performances, or listening of original tracks. Any additional performers needed for the student performance is the responsibility of the student. Students who wishes to have a song professionally produced can sign up for music production packages at our front desk.

Songwriting and composition is hard work. Students must have solid musical background in order to take full advantage of these lessons. Students will get to work with amazing composers and songwriters who will provide valuable insights to their original works.
