This weekly Creative Projects course will enable young people to experience, explore and interact with creative technology in a playful and explorative environment. Building on the diverse strengths and abilities of each student, participants will develop a creative project using cutting edge music production equipment and software, while accessing the recording studios and creative spaces at the Conservatorium of Music. No experience is required - just a curiosity to get creative!

This course is suitable for students in Years 6 - 9 and runs each week at the Conservatorium of Music.

In the course, students will:

• Learn and use music recording and production software such as Ableton Live as well as the huge lab of Ableton Push on offer

• Record audio in a studio environment

• Experiment with robots

• Try synthesisers

• Produce and publish music

• Learn sound design and music production techniques & VR 360 performance concepts

and so much more…

The sessions will be based around:

• Play, exploration and hands on learning in a supportive environment

• Facilitating informal learning opportunities where connections between home, school, and community are enabled and encouraged

• Collaborative learning where educators and students pool their skills and knowledge to maximise teaching and learning

• Developing a culture of creating as opposed to consuming

The course runs each Wednesday afternoon from 4pm - 5pm commencing Wednesday 26th February until Wednesday 8th April 2020.
