This 7 hour-long session (delivered in one day) combines the two Audio Support packages for teachers, and will equip music teachers with the skills and confidence to use Digital Audio Workstation technology such as Cubase for the composition elements of the GCSE music syllabus, and also equip teachers with the skills and confidence to use Cubase as a recording tool in the classroom.

Audio Support trainers are all experienced music technology teachers and can give practical advice on how to use the equipment to engage students in learning.

Designed around the needs of modern teachers, the hands-on training is delivered one-to-one in their own classroom ensuring that every question is answered and there is minimum disruption to a busy teaching schedule.
