  • →Hit Songwriting — Foundational songwriting and toplining focused on melody, lyrics, structure, creative devices, concepts, and essential music business (copyright, publishing, splits). Includes one dedicated lesson on rap/rhythmic toplines.
  • →Synthesis and Sound Design — Practical subtractive synthesis and sound design using Serum or native DAW synths. Students create drums, basses, leads, FX, pads, and textures while learning oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, and effects.
  • →Vocal Production — Professional vocal recording, comping, tuning, alignment, background vocals, creative effects, industry tools (Auto-Tune, Melodyne, Vocalign, etc.), and final vocal mixing for client-ready results.

Paris Hilton

"Everything went really well in Ibiza this time and I had so much fun! I am so glad you taught me, you're the best xoxo" Paris Hilton (Garnish DJ Program)

“My songs that were already finished were improved significantly, when I didn't think there was much room to improve. My writing ability and originality also increased. Casey is patient, but also honest, and it's exactly what I needed to get my music to another level. She was always open to hear original songs and give feedback, and was very good with answering questions even if they were asked more than once. If I could take the course myself again I totally would.”
