Create your own music 

“The Music Technology classroom is the one place where I get to be 100% creative and express myself through sound.” - James S.

The North Valley Arts Academies (NVAA) Music Technology Program explores the development and production of sound in a progressively rigorous curriculum to gain the skills to work in the music industry.
 

Students not only explore, but experience an engaging class that focuses on the creation, recording, mixing, performing, and production of music. There are field trips to fine art staples across metropolitan Phoenix, such as the Music Instrument Museum and Scottsdale Arts. Guest artists from the fine arts community visit frequently, providing presentations, workshops, and master classes.

Course Plan

Skills in keyboard, guitar, vocals, and any other necessary instruments are acquired. The "How-to" of creating music for a certain audience or a specific instruction are developed, often through composing music for other NVAA components.
