Sonic Arts Workshop!

I spent the week of July 6th through 12th working with high school students from all across the country at TIMARA’s Sonic Arts workshop, teaching alongside current and past TIMARA faculty and students. The students participated on classes ranging in topic from microphones, recording and production to listening, history, and professionalism, which all culminated in a final concert of work in Oberlin’s Clonick Hall. This was a very rewarding experience for me; such a great group of students, and I hope to see them make it in the future!
