Brain Break: Make a Beat in Ableton (A DDS Community Skillshare) | 2pm-3pm | Digital Design Studio
Come take a (drum) break and de-stress by playing with digital sounds! Using pre-set instruments, you'll be able to make a percussive beat and add some instrumentals in Ableton, a digital audio workstation for making music. We've selected some easy-to-use tools to get started so we can focus on playing around, being creative, and letting out stress! Participants are welcome to come and go as they need.
This session will be student-led by Quinn Kessel A27, as part of the DDS Community Skillshare series. For this series, students from across Tufts University are invited to teach a digital media skill to the campus, with support provided by DDS staff to design the workshop. For more information, or to apply to teach a DDS Community Skillshare workshop in a future semester, please reach out to Kylie Burnham at kylie.burnham@tufts.edu.
