No longer do you need to spend a lot of money hiring a recording studio for mixing tracks to a high standard. The tools are now cheap and easily accessible to anyone with a decent laptop. However, most teachers don’t have a background in mixing, and feel inadequate when it comes to helping students produce their original compositions to the highest quality possible.

 

One-day workshops are good for giving an overview of the tools required, but teachers often come out of them wishing they had more time to develop the skills themselves.

​

This is a six-week course designed to give high school teachers quality instruction about the various parts of the mixing process.

 

Each week participants will receive/take part in:

• A one-hour tutorial on Zoom (usually on a Sunday or Monday evening)

• An information pack with readings and tutorial videos

• A weekly assignment to practise the skills they are learning (feedback will be given each week)

• A series of mini-tasks to practise concepts and skills

​

At the end of the course participants:

• will know about all stages of the mix process

• will have completed five full mixes

• gained greater confidence in their mixing skills which they can share with students

• will have a huge amount of resources they can share with their students

• will have developed their own course plan that works for their unique environment

• will have greater confidence using a variety of software music tools

​

Registrations for 2025 workshops are available now.

​

Depending on your level of prior experience the time commitment for these courses is most likely between 6-10 hours per week.

​

At the conclusion of this course you will be provided with a certificate of completion. In New Zealand this can be used as evidence of Teacher Professional Development for teacher registration. For Australian teachers, we are not NESA (NSW) or TQI (ACT) accredited but you can use these hours as Teacher Directed PD.
