First of all I will introduce my students to the software we will be using and go trough the basics on how to use it. The music software that I mostly are LOGIC or FL STUDIO. I will explain to the students the different between them and demonstrate each software functions and then it will be up to the student to decide which one they prefer to use.
Then I will teach them how to compose a beat (instrumentals) step by step and I will show them what instruments fits for what genre. While we will create the beat together I will also explain the theory of the software.
