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.
