Teaching

Courses in sound have proliferated in the last twenty-five years, generally within related areas such as film, music, radio or theatre, eventually resulting in programmes that actually teach sound as sound. Those teaching these courses have knowledge and techniques that make this fascinating subject come alive for their students.

TEACHING is a forum for those who teach sound, either practice or theory, to share how you inform, instruct and enlighten your students, whether informally or within academia.

We invite articles ranging from 200-1000 words. We will review all submissions, publishing the most relevant texts.
