Electronic Music Elements (EME) by Shed the Music is a comprehensive, non-performance-based curriculum designed to make authentic music production accessible to students from grades 4 through 12. Developed in collaboration with Eric Jao, also known as DJ Enferno of Mix Major, EME focuses on removing traditional barriers to composition, allowing students to engage in purposeful music creation without prior instrumental experience.

Elements makes real-world music production using Soundtrap accessible for all students with customized learning paths for upper primary, middle, and high school. With hands-on projects, flexible sequencing, and built-in teacher support, Elements provides everything educators need to bring modern music creation into the classroom.

Curriculum Highlights:

Hands-On Music Production: Students learn to create beats, build chord progressions, write bass lines, craft melodies, and arrange tracks using the cloud-based Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), Soundtrap. This approach emphasizes creativity and technological proficiency, enabling students to produce music reflective of their personal tastes and experiences. ​Electronic Music Elements

Critical Listening & Analysis: By analyzing their favorite music and thinking like DJs, students make informed creative decisions, enhancing their critical listening and production skills. This method fosters a deeper understanding of music structure and production techniques. ​Electronic Music Elements+1Log in or sign up to view+1
