MIDI 1 Summer Session

Welcome to MIDI 1 Summer! I hope you are ready to get started learning about MIDI and creating some synth-based music. We will be meeting every Saturday, from 9AM till 3PM. Don't worry, we will be taking breaks, including a lunch break. 

Please bookmark this site and check it every week. I will be posting information about the class like assignments, video links, etc. I also encourage you to post questions or comments here.
