DIGITAL AUDIO WEEK (DAW) INSTRUCTOR
Are you already well-versed in using Soundtrap, or similar DAW, and excited to show youth how to use it? Have you been thinking about learning Soundtrap but already have experience teaching in general? You should be a DAW INSTRUCTOR!
-No formal musical training needed! We will require that you become a Soundtrap “certified expert” but there will be plenty of time do this at your own pace before the session begins
-Teaching experience is appreciated but not required! As long as you’re psyched to teach the youth, we’ll show you everything you need to know!
-The following experiences are a plus, but if you are missing something from this list, it’s not a deal breaker! Enthusiastic volunteers will be trained accordingly!
–Experience leading groups of youth in discussion, activities and collaboration.
–Experience songwriting or arranging
–Experience working in any DAW (Audacity, Garageband, Ableton, Logic, etc)
–Experience running a Zoom meeting and presenting slide shows

Volunteer as a positive musical mentor for a band working together the first time! Work directly with a group of 3-4 as they learn to utilize a Digital Audio Workstation (Soundtrap) and collaboratively write a song together Sound good? You’d make a great BAND COACH!

-Teaching experience NOT required! Just enthusiasm to share what you know.
