Why This Class
Does your student enjoy making music and interacting with technology? Do they love listening to electronic beats or mixing funny voice recordings? If the answer is yes, you might want to give them an outlet to expand this interest further. On that note, this course introduces your student to the fundamentals of sound and audio engineering.
Students in this self-paced course learn how to record and produce pro-quality sounds using Audacity audio-editing software. Along the way, they practice adding sound effects to music and voice tracks, piece together multiple audio files to create layered sounds, and even learn the ins-and-outs of copyrighting their work. By the end of the course, students have a personal portfolio of mixed-and-mastered original electronic tracks.
Students emerge from this course with a new perspective on the hard work and artistry behind the sounds of their favorite songs and movies. They are excited to continue using their new skills to produce creative works of their own.
