Introduction to Music Technology

I'm teaching a course at the San Dieguito Adult School this Fall, in the Mac lab at Canyon Crest Academy in Del Mar. For only $93, students get seven, two hour sessions, Mondays, 7 - 9 pm, starting September 13th. That comes out to less than $7 per hour, which, compared with $40+ per hour private lessons, is pretty awesome.

Learn the basics of music technology through creative projects. Topics include analog synthesis, digital audio and MIDI sequencing, software instruments, looping, and a variety of remix techniques. These topics are presented in an easy to understand manner, and are related to real musical examples from popular and experimental electronic music. Students will be guided through the use of free and open-source software, available for both PC and Mac users. The class will be taught in a MAC lab, and all that will be required is a pair of headphones. This course will provide students with the foundation necesary to use more powerful commercial packages such as Logic, Ableton Live, Reason, or ProTools.
