Educational Outreach

In addition to our main program, we offer a range of short-form outreach activities that share our approach to music technology, innovation, and education. These sessions are designed as introductory and informational experiences, reflecting our mission to engage the broader community around the musical, social, and research value of music technology as an area of study.

Lectures, Workshops, & Presentations

❋ Class Visits

Short talks about music, technology, and the research we do at the Collaborative Music Lab. A great way to quickly introduce students to music technology within a classroom setting.

❋ Lectures

We can work with existing classes and give lectures covering a variety of music, engineering, computer science, and research topics - typically highlighting the connection between these areas.

❋ Short Workshops

60 to 90 minute workshops introducing the basics of writing code to perform music. Typically 12 to 16 students in a classroom setting.

❋ Performance Presentation

A presentation combining an introductory talk on music technology with a short live coded music performance. Great for larger groups and a general audience.

What to expect

For our short-form programming, we emphasize simplicity and engagement.

  • Designed for high school and university-level students.

  • Classroom visits and lectures invite students to join a discussion about how music & technology interact in their lives.

  • Workshops require students to have access to individual computers with a current web browser, as well as a pair of headphones.

  • Performance presentations will work with any standard public presentation system. Depending on the presentation, it may be helpful to chat about the best way to play musical content.
