My Project

At our school we only have a traditional music program that is geared toward Polynesian music and band only. I am hoping to expand the types of genres of music that can be created through digital audio workstations to create digital music. We live in an age where there is a need for digital music creation. My hope is to give students the opportunity and tools to use for future employment of making musical scores and beats. We'd like to start using Ableton live and other midi controller devices to create music with the Mac mini.
