Workshop for Teens: Electronic Music with Bridget Chappell
Learn how to make your own electronic music track from start to finish!
Facilitator and musician Bridget Chappell from Melbourne's Sound School will lead attendees through all aspects of creating electronic music: an introduction to Ableton Live (the popular software program), collecting and editing samples, virtual instruments and effects, building beats, creating loops – and arranging them into an original track.
The workshop will run over a morning and afternoon session with a ½ hr lunch break (please bring your own lunch and drink for the day).
No prior experience of music or music production necessary - all skill levels welcome.
Participants will need to bring their own laptops and headphones, with the free trial version of Ableton Live 10 downloaded and installed from: https://www.ableton.com/en/trial/. If you don’t have access to a laptop, please speak to Sophie (02 6043 5806) or send us an email.
Melbourne Sound School is an award-winning community school providing free workshops upskilling and celebrating young and marginalised voices in electronic music.
Children under 12 will need to be accompanied by a carer or guardian.
