Bachelor in Arranging and Producing Contemporary Music Styles

The course has been a requirement on campus at Berklee College for many years, where it is called Groove Writing. It is a perfect follow up to any of the DAW production, arranging and or notation courses or a great starting point for learning the tools to create contemporary music grooves. In addition to learning about these important styles, in this music production and writing course, you will create your own grooves and hybrid styles in the same fashion as many current successful contemporary artists and producers. Along with the multitrack stems from the textbook Essential Grooves, the course materials also include a supplement of interactive Soundslices of 23 in the course to give the student an in depth look at these styles through interactive video and audio of a live rhythm section.
