Students in the CFPA Music Technology program learn to compose their own music using sequencing and notation software. The coursework also teaches harmonization, instrumentation, orchestration, film scoring, and audio mixing and recording. Students have the option to gain hands-on experience in audio recording and sound reinforcement. The program prepares students for further study and/or a career in music composition, sound engineering, or the music business.

You can hear examples of student work at the WSHS SoundCloud group, "We Don't Make Beats, We Make History." Click here: http://soundcloud.com/groups/we-dont-make-beats-we-make-history

The school record label is called Polyphonix Records. Students in this club stay after school to learn how to record, produce, mix, distribute, and market their own music. The goal of Polyphonix is to teach students how to "do it yourself" in the music business. Polyphonix Records CD release concerts are always exciting events for WSHS students; it's always a lot of fun to see what people are writing and performing. The quality of songwriting and music making at Woodbridge High School is top-notch. You can hear previous releases at:
