Songwriting: Getting together and writing a song looking at lyrics, structure and harmony.

Audio Production: Getting an induction into studio recording, setting up microphones and running the sound through a professional desk.

Music Production: Making a song in Logic or Ableton, from session setup to coming up with the beat and building the track.
