Soundlab

About

This project was a remote learning opportunity for young people to explore music recording and programming techniques by learning to use the award winning and free software BandLab. 

Over 18 weekly sessions participants engaged in learning about song structure, tempo, sequence programming, instrumentation, recording techniques and equipment, basic mixing and effects processing.

With covid restrictions in place this project was designed as a regular opportunity for young people to get together online and explore musical interests, to collaborate and to learn a new creative skill.
