This course explores how musicality, artistry, and musicianship are expressed in and through performance in recording studio environments. It builds on foundational skills to support students’ development of intermediate-level professional techniques that enhance musicality and adaptability in recording studios. Students engage in a series of topics and diverse musical experiences across genres, focusing on how studio-based performance relates to both large-scale production and DIY music-making contexts. Emphasis is placed on the unique demands and opportunities of recording environments, including how the studio shapes musical outcomes and how musicians can creatively respond to the recording process. Students are introduced to standard recording studio terminology, respectful communication practices, and strategies for giving and receiving constructive feedback in a professional setting.
