This isn’t music class, it’s the music industry. 🎶🎸

In the CMAS Music & Audio Production pathway, SUSD students step into the studio and onto the stage, recording original tracks, filming music shows, producing concerts, and running full scale live events from start to finish. 🎧

Students work with professional recording software, master industry standard production techniques, perform at live shows, and even create music for the CMAS record label, building real credits while they’re still in school.

If you’re ready to drop tracks, run shows, and turn creativity into a career, this is your backstage pass. 🎟️
