Location: Tiaro Community Centre, Forgan Terrace, Tiaro.
Equipment: Participants are invited to bring a laptop, and to download the Ableton software prior to the workshop. However, if participants do not have a laptop, no problems, participation is still possible.
This workshop session will give you a tasty introduction to the world of electronic music production using Ableton Live. This workshop has been designed for people who are interested in getting into the music industry as an electronic musician/producer, or for musicians who want to add more to their music and live performance.
In the workshop you will learn the basics in Ableton Live, the foundations of how to use it for writing and arrangement and the endless possibilities for music creation. You will learn through creating a track in the software yourself - so that you come away understanding the basic flow of the software and can start creating your own music.
This is a beginner’s level workshop in electronic music production so we'll guide you through to a general knowledge of the Ableton Live software. Whether you're interested in learning to use Ableton for songwriting, live performance or making beats, we'll show you the basics of writing and arrangement. We do our best to accommodate everyone's ability and skill level and with this small group workshop you'll get plenty of support, one on one time with the facilitators and time for experimenting. We'll provide instructional notes for you to take home and you’ll meet people with similar interests- you might start your own band!
