Under the guidance of current faculty, alumni and collaboration with current students, participants will use these new rehearsal and performance techniques to create a small set of diverse songs in collaboration with other students in the class to present in a performance for family and friends at the end of the two days.

Over the two days the repeated sessions will pick up and expand upon the achievements of the previous day giving participants time between classes to reflect and consider new ideas.

Women’s Audio Mission’s classes and programs focus on increasing the gender balance in audio production and technology sectors since less than 5% of the population employed in these sectors are women. There are limited spots available in our classes and programs, and they often sell out, so we ask that if you are not woman-identified (transgender or cisgender), non-binary, or gender-expansive, that you reconsider enrolling in the class. We will not turn anyone away, but please be mindful that if you take up a seat in the class, that is one less woman or gender-expansive individual that we can serve. We thank you for your understanding in advance and for joining us in our mission to advance women and girls in music production and the recording arts.
