Students create a sound mixing board to produce, manipulate and synthesize sounds. They do this by programming the board to combine various electrical waves together to create sound for their unique instruments. Along the way, they explore the properties and physics of sound waves and use their instrument to learn about rhythm, chords, melodies, and to compose music. Students show off what they’ve learned by orchestrating a solo performance or forming an ensemble with classmates!
