Thank you for participating in this week’s class in which we will explore Music Technology. We will be spending the week creating, editing, and composing music through the use of computers. My goal is to give students an opportunity to explore the different ways that musicians compose and create music, all by using free software that is available to all students at home.
Each day, students will be exploring and creating a different method that musicians use in the “real studio” world. Students will complete a small project each day that will be the result of the topic explored that day. I will upload all student projects at the end of each class so that students, parents, family members, and friends may listen to each students’ creations.

I have created links for each student participating in this class. I will upload their creations/compositions each day for you to enjoy. Please feel free to download any of them to save them on your computer. I have also included links to the free software that we will be using this week. Please feel free to email me (tedrausch1@gmail.com) at any time with any questions. Thank you and enjoy!
