Thank you for visiting our new blog buzztracks. Students who post to this site are participating in a class called Songwriting, Sequencing, and Soundtracks at St. Benedict's Prep School in Newark, NJ. During Spring Phase (roughly the month of May), SBP students study one subject for five hours a day. For this class, students are using music technology including Apple's Garage Band software to create loop-based sequences that will either become stand-alone songs or background music for video. They are also studying the life of performer/composer/producer Quincy Jones and how he has influenced American music for more than five decades.
We hope our students' posts will document this month long process for posterity. Please check in regularly because we will also be posting our student's compositions and examples of work in the class on a weekly basis.
