Auburn High School has unveiled a cutting-edge music production room, offering students a transformative learning experience. This state-of-the-art facility boasts a recording studio and a dedicated classroom, empowering students to explore the art of music creation and production.

Elevating the Next Generation of Musical Innovators

A Recording Studio Fit for the Pros

The recording studio at Auburn High School is a true marvel, allowing students to capture up to 16 audio tracks simultaneously. Equipped with high-quality microphones and brand-new instruments, this space provides the perfect canvas for budding musicians to bring their creative visions to life. "We have a full studio setup with high-quality equipment," enthuses teacher Shannon Stoddard. "The students have access to the industry-standard Pro Tools software, giving them a professional-grade experience."

A Classroom Designed for Collaborative Creativity

Complementing the recording studio is a dedicated classroom, outfitted with 16 desks, each featuring a computer and a MIDI keyboard. This immersive learning environment empowers students to explore the art of music production, from songwriting to recording and editing. "These classes are becoming more popular in the music education world," Stoddard explains. "Now, we have a place in school for students with this type of inspiration from their favorite artists to create music."

Harnessing the Power of Self-Taught Talent

The new music production program at Auburn High School is attracting a diverse array of students, including those who have already honed their skills through self-taught exploration. "It is fascinating to see how they apply their self-taught skills to the full studio setup," Stoddard observes. "I believe that the community will be amazed at the new opportunity and display of talent from these students."

Discovering New Passions and Pathways

The impact of the music production program extends beyond the classroom walls. Aidan Hodson, a student enrolled in the class, shares how the experience has helped him reconsider his future plans. "I feel like it's going to help me learn because I've never used Pro Tools, but it's helped me figure out what avenue I want to go down," he says. "It's definitely helped me learn what I want to do after this because I wanted to major in acting my whole life, but now that I've seen how good this program is, it's definitely shown me that editing is also a thing I like doing."

Showcasing Student Talent on the Stage

The music production program at Auburn High School will culminate in a highly anticipated performance at the Auburn Public Theater. This platform will allow students to showcase their hard work and talent, sharing their original compositions and covers with the community. "These classes are becoming more popular in the music education world," Stoddard emphasizes, "and the community will be amazed at the new opportunity and display of talent from these students."
