Music for DIY Electronics

What does 'music' mean? Have you ever asked yourself that? It's a good question to get a musical journey underway in class. Because music doesn't have to be tonal or even based on notes.

Improvised instruments, everyday sounds—even silences—can form part of a composition. In this workshop, educators will learn how to make creative use of concepts from DIY, making, electronics and sound-based music making, but also how to integrate activities centred on listening, music performance and construction into their classes.

The workshop is led by John Richards, who has headed similar projects within the framework of the EU's "Interfaces" program, which is coordinated by the Onassis Stegi. At the end of the course, the teachers will take practical tools away with them—everything from playlists and recommended projects to general techniques applicable to manual tasks and construction.

The workshop is part of the Interfaces program, which is co-funded by the EU's "Creative Europe" program.
