About Course
The Sound Collective Youth Music Production Bootcamp is an immersive, hands-on program for students in grades 8–12. Using Logic Pro, students learn real production skills — building beats, writing melodies, designing sounds, arranging tracks, and mixing finished music.
No experience needed. No theory required. Show up with ideas, leave with a track. Week 1 is a complete standalone program. Week 2 takes it further.
