Soundboard Academy is a structured, beginner-friendly audio engineering course for students ages 12–17. Through guided, hands-on sessions, students learn how to use professional recording equipment and software while developing creative and technical skills.
Each session builds on the last, beginning with setting up recording equipment and learning the basics of digital audio workstations, then moving into microphone techniques, sound effects, and advanced EQ. In the final sessions, students apply everything they've learned to mix a full track and present their work.
