Placeholder content for this accordion, which is intended to demonstrate the .accordion-flush class. This is the third item's accordion body. Nothing more exciting happening here in terms of content, but just filling up the space to make it look, at least at first glance, a bit more representative of how this would look in a real-world application.

    Teacher: Antonino Valenti

     

    Teaching objectives:

    • to understand the characteristics of sound;
    • to know the primary reference instruments, types and variations;
    • to evaluate the potential of a synthesizer;
    • to use basic and advanced techniques to create sounds;
    • to understand application areas;
    • to delve into the logic of synthesis;
    • to master programming to create sounds of all types.

    For the duration of the workshop, learners will be provided with professional reference equipment and in particular:

     

    for learning activities

    - Moog Modular System 15 (virtual instrument in video projection)

    - Nord Modular (physical instrument with editor in video projection)

     

    For guided practice activities

    - 2600 semi-modular (physical replica ARP 2600)

    - Model 15 semi-modular (compact physical replica Moog Modular System 15)

     

    For activities dedicated to individual practice, the Academy provides participants with a Mac workstation with appropriate virtual synthesis tools.

    To apply, you have to register or login at Academy's Admission OnLine Platform (https://iscrizioni.accademialascala.it).

    Once you have registered or logged in, the system will ask you to enter your personal data and will propose the Contract Conditions for participation, a document which must be signed and re-attached and which contains important contractual details, such as the right of withdrawal.

    Once this step is completed, you will be asked to upload your curriculum vitae as detailed into the course brochure (if you haven't already downloaded it, do so now!) Then, you will be asked to pay the admissions participation fee, by credit card or by online bank transfer, directly from the registration screen (the banks of the MyBank circuit are accepted: check first that yours is there too before proceeding).

    At the end of these steps, a PDF summary of all the data entered will be generated, which must be signed as indicated and reattached.

    At this point, registration is complete and goes directly to the Students' Office.

     

    The Academy has agreements with accommodation, restaurants, theatres, cinemas and other shops, from which students can benefit - by presenting their ID card - or even candidates for selection, by presenting their full registration.
