• Break arrangement down into workable chunks

• Think about arrangement as both a linear and non-linear process

• Add options to our arrangement toolkit (for when we run out)

• Develop a broader perspective of what arrangement is

• Improve our arrangement efficiency (speed and quality)

• Have fun!

For this course you will require;

• Ableton Live 11 Suite
