So You Want to Teach Digital Music…Now What? Produce This! was created for YOU! Written as a complete curriculum for Digital Music Production (DMP) classes, Produce This! offers a simple roadmap to logically travel from the genesis of a song idea to a fully produced and mixed composition using ANY Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) on ANY computer, tablet, or smartphone. Each of the 11 self-contained chapters focuses on a particular element of music production, including navigating a DAW; using loops; creating rhythm, melody, harmony, and bass tracks; form; writing lyrics; and editing, mixing, and sharing a song—all enhanced by online video tutorials and audio tracks. With plenty of space for written self-reflection and note-taking, Produce This! provides an engaging way to structure standalone DMP classes in a concise 32-page workbook format. In addition, it provides a relevant and creative approach to include composition, theory, and other non-performance standards in your instrumental, choral, or general music curriculum. The time for Digital Music Production is now and Produce This! is the best way to reach that destination!

Recruitment and retention are vital to the health of any instrumental program. The key in today’s world is reaching non-traditional music (NTM) students—those who don’t participate in school music but instead perform and create it independently. How do we reach those students? Music Production! This workbook will give you and your students the tools to help unleash creative potential like never before. With PRODUCE THIS!, band educator Matthew Lyons provides a step-bystep 32-page workbook for producing today’s music. From the genesis of an idea to a completed recording, each chapter offers a clear roadmap for writing a song using any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). It’s all here: from navigating your DAW…to creating rhythm, melody, harmony, and bass tracks…to adding lyrics…to recording live audio…and finally, to mixing and sharing.
