From WondaGurl to Ebonie Smith, Black women have produced award-winning pop hits. Yet they are not always household names like some of their counterparts. In Respect Her Crank!: Producing Sounds of Blackness, this changes. Award-winning producer J’Nae White facilitates multiple workshops designed to teach the art of music production, as inspired by Black women producers. Did you know that there is theory behind some of your favorite songs? This workshop introduces you to music theory for producers. Inspired by the award-winning record producers Nova Wav, you will learn standard beat composition from intro to outro on FL Studio, BandLab, and Incredibox and flourish into a dope music producer. Please e-mail hirshhornexperience@si.edu if you would like to request ASL interpretation for this program.
