Sound Camp: The Art and Science of Audio Engineering at Payomet Performing Arts Center

The learn-through-doing approach allows students (ages 12+ or Middle School age through adult) to apply skills as they learn. By utilizing both analog and digital systems, the fundamentals are conveyed along with current methods. This is great for anyone interested in mixing and recording and would also be vital to musicians, allowing them to more effectively interact with staff when performing. Our goal is to promote excellence in live audio for everyone.
