Intro To Music Technology

Explore the fascinating world available on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and more!

What you'll learn
This is an overview of the fascinating field accessible if you have a desire to make music. You do not need to play an instrument just be open to new techniques
Instead of 30 college class hours, this overview is less than 6 fun hours! It opens your eyes and ears to new ways of making music.
These applications are inviting, and you may risk wanting to have more timeout play and explore, this is a good problem!
I have taught over 1,000 college students in my award-winning degree program and many have made successful songs and have also won awards!
Requirements
Pad/iPhone platform, but most of the apps run on a PC as well. No tools are necessary but are very helpful.
Description
This is a dynamically illustrated lecture course.It is similar to the course David Musial, the award-winning instructor, created & taught for nearly 20 years to over 1,000 college students in the New York City area, yet updated for today's technology. Some of his students have gone on to win famous awards in the field. It is an easy, fast-flowing expressive lecture with no quizzes and lots of unique demonstrations.MUSIC TECHNOLOGY is the integration of the art form and utilization of a diverse array of creative hardware and software tools available to musicians, producers, and engineers to help them compose, improvise/create, arrange, orchestrate, and record music. In the early days, one would need to go to a very expensive professional recording studio with properly acoustically tuned performance and control rooms. These are still very important, but today much can be done on a device in your hand or in your home, such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. Many classic legendary sound synthesizers have been emulated, and many new virtual instruments have been created that we can access on these devices. This course gives an overview of acoustics, home or project studio layout, and an overview of all the above to better understand the art form and what's available to you.David has been using music technology for over 40 years. He earned sponsorships and scholarships to continue to Master Music Technology at the prestigious The Juilliard School of Music & New York University for graduate studies, where he won “Instructor-Of-The Year” in the field as an adjunct professor. A bachelor’s degree in Music Technology he created and directed won the title “Most Innovative Changing The Industry!” He won many awards in his field, including “The Most Innovative Changing The Industry!” David has worked under the greatest in the industry. His students have earned a Grammy, #1 record chart positions, and dream jobs in the industry. Music Technology was their foundation!This course will give you a fun, informative overview.

This course is for adult beginners to intermediate musicians with a curiosity related to exploring computer music and engineering apps. Professor Musial has taught over 1,000 college students since 1990. Many took a similar course and went on to quickly accel in the field.,If you like to press buttons without reading the directions for a video game, you may love this course. There are so many unique sound creation opportunities in the device which is already in your hand, and you will now know how to use it!,If you have any youngsters in your family who are often spending time gaming, you may be able to introduce them to other “apps” which are in their devices. You may inspire them to explore Music Technology!,Anyone who like to just "dabble" on a piano, or maybe has a DJ interest, should find this course intriguing.
