Trap Music Production: Composition and Arrangement

Once you have your 8-bar loop, it's time to build out your track. In this 34-minute class, DJ/producer duo K Theory shares their step-by-step process using verses, arpeggios, and transitions to compose a demo. You'll learn to use:

• Verses and breakdowns to structure your track
• Arpeggios to add musical interest
• Transitions to bind together the sections of your arrangement
• Mix-downs to prepare your track for a vocal artist

After taking this class, you'll be able to make your own track beat useable in hip hop or EDM.
