Making Music Apps that Integrate YOUR Artistic Practice!

In this 90-minute workshop, participants will expand their musicmaking practice by designing app-enabled expressions. This is an all-levels workshop that utilizes participants’ individual skills with their primary instrument and/or creative technologies. Participants will design solutions to real case scenarios that utilize internet/network technologies. There will be very limited coding instruction in basic HTML/CSS/Javascript. Downloadable materials will be provided prior to the session.
