Dedham School of Music doesn`t just offer a wide variety of classes, private lessons, and ensembles. We are also extremely active in the community! Just this past week, we were pleased to have our faculty members, Dale Jovin and Tommy Chiu (@tommychiukc), lead workshops and masterclasses at Dedham Middle School. This kind of community outreach is what sets DSM apart. We believe in bringing music into the heart of our neighborhoods, where it can inspire, connect, and grow.

Are you ready to express yourself through digital music?
The Digital Music Making class is designed around the belief that creating music should be an exciting adventure, not a technical chore. We focus on teaching you digital music production through the styles and genres that inspire you—because when you`re crafting music that excites you, learning becomes something you look forward to.
In this class, you`ll learn to use Soundtrap`s intuitive interface to bring your musical ideas to life—from essential production concepts like arrangement and mixing to creating custom tracks and collaborating in real-time. Once you`ve mastered the fundamentals, you will tackle creative projects that challenge you to develop your unique production style.
Requirements: No prior musical experience is required—just your passion for music and desire to create.
Please note: You will need to bring your own laptop and headphones. Also, you will need a Soundtrap license, which is not included (Soundtrap cost is $16.99/month; info at www.soundtrap.com/pricing).
Cost: Tuition cost will be determined by the number of students in the class.
For more information please email DSM or call us at 781-441-9372.
This course is suitable for beginners or those with some ukulele experience who want to learn more about playing Taylor Swift on the ukulele. Students will learn how to play several Taylor Swift songs on the ukulele, including "Shake It Off”, “Ready For It”, “You Belong With Me”, and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" among others. The course will focus on chords and strumming techniques used in each song. By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in playing Taylor Swift songs on the ukulele and the confidence to continue exploring their musical journey. Students will need their own ukulele.
Requirements: For beginners or those with some ukulele experience.
Cost: $333 - 9 sessions.
For more information, please email DSM or call us at 781-441-9372.
