Music Creation Using Audacity - Explanation

 

These activities are designed to be a teaching and learning resource for class groups and individuals from age 12 onwards. They introduce the fundamentals of audio manipulation using Audacity. Audacity is a free, cross platform audio editor, capable of sophisticated and professional results  For a complete overview of the software please read the owners manual and visit their website http://audacity.sourceforge.net

These activities provide a context as well as a ‘scaffold’ that encourages further student exploration and creativity within an authentic context, using authentic tools, and achieving authentic products or outcomes. 

The activities are regularly revised and this current version (January 2009) makes use of the significant improvments offered in the 1-3-6 Beta version.  The activities are also part of a broader study on Music Technology Pedagogy.

I trust that these tutorials and resources provide you with a starting point for exploring Digital Audio editing. Please contact me if you have any further suggestions.
