EXPLORING SOUND: A MUSIC TECHNOLOGY ADVENTURE! (grades 1-12)

Students will experience the basic physics of sound while using the fascinating and very accessible music software GarageBand ©!

This very hands on music/technology program will allow students to record, control and manipulate sound to experience amazing properties of sound like decay, reverberation, timber, amplitude and many more. Students will also build tuned instruments to understand the relationship between length and pitch in particular instruments and have lots of fun playing and recording music.

To deepen this unique learning experience students will work in teams to compose and record a song in which they will apply all the different knowledge they have gathered through this residency. They will use new music and music technology vocabulary to create lyrics, modify sound/audio by using different editing techniques and perform/record musical arrangements created by their own groups!

The school doesn’t need to have computers or a computer lab to participate in this program.
