The students in Mrs. Wolf's Music Tech I class spent several class periods creating their own music videos. Students composed a 2-3 minute piece of original music using LogicPro software. They then uploaded their music to Google Vids, and created visuals using iPad recordings and stock footage. The final step was aligning the visual to the audio and creating the full-length product. The classes celebrated the end of the project by having a class watch party of all the videos, complete with popcorn! #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #firstinthearts
