| Session Title | Connecting Kids with Creativity |
| Session Description | The future is multimedia. Music, film-scoring, and audio editing skills are essential in all media. And you don’t need to be an accomplished composer to use and teach with accessible, engaging creative tools. We’ll explore tools for film scoring, podcasting, and more using a variety of kid-friendly interfaces, with options for traditional music notation too. Need to start a new course with legit career skills? Real-world music production and performance go hand-in-hand, but most school programs focus on only music practice & performance. Music industry demands that performers also compose/create, record, and produce. Digital tools like YuStudio, OGenPlus, and Soundtrap, support those additional goals. While they look (and are) fun, these software tools contain their own type of music literacy that feeds into traditional notation as well as the professional music studio. And you’ll attract music-loving students not currently in your performance ensembles (the “other 80%”). |
