DIY Album : Dream, Plan and Make Your Independent Music

What You Will Learn?

• Have you always dreamed of making an album of your music but have no idea where to start?  This class will walk you through step-by-step everything you need to make your dream a reality! Making an album DOES NOT require a huge budget, music production skills or loads of time, it requires imagination and initiative. In the first lesson we will unblock your fears. Many musicians have excuses why they think they can’t make an album. We will get those excuses out of the way, so that we can get to work. No need to wait for permission or validation from a Record Label, Manager or the Music Industry... Get ready to sign a record deal with yourself! Then, we will go through the 5 stages to make an album. You don’t need to know how to do all these things. You need to work out which stages you can do yourself, and which you can outsource. We will explore:.
• 1. Songs and Sound2. Recording and Production3. Mixing and Mastering4. Artwork and Video5. Release and Marketing.
• By the end of this class you will have created your own “Album Map”, so that you can work towards making an album of your music that you are proud of. This class is for any independent musician who dreams of recording an album. Maybe you are a singer-songwriter with a few songs you’ve written, or maybe you are a jazz saxophonist with some ideas up your sleeve. In this class you will be inspired to finally make your dream come true. No fancy equipment or technical skills necessary. All that is required is Imagination and Initiative!.
