LESSON PLAN: TEACHING FUNDAMENTAL SOUND SYNTHESIS

A class that consists of a 3 learning modules that incorporate fundamental sound theories, basic sound synthesis and is facilitated through the use of free software (VCV Rack 2). Can be paced for students to work at their own pace or with others. The materials, videos and coursework are intended for audiences that have a degree of previous experience or interest in audio production, sound design, or modular synthesis.

An Introduction video demonstrating how a lesson plan like this one would be facilitated. This includes accommodating for logistics with regards to software installation, links, to course content and audio routing (I/O). Video edited to keep pace while also being formatted to be used in hybrid or in-person classroom settings.

This outline gives a general impression of the course contents as well as the expectations and goals to be met for assessing students' comprehension. Considerations with regards to educational equity and access to internet, MIDI controllers, and other parts of the course work are incorporated, as well as all the contents to be hosted in an easy-to-find, easy-to-follow format.

This is the first two video guides in a series of which that build upon fundamental sound design using free modular software. The initial goals and some simple information about how the software is facilitated is demonstrated and is further to be built upon in subsequent videos in this lesson series.
