“Creativity through Keyboards and Computers”
Join us for a presentation of Dave Young’s creative music!
Saturday, October 22
1:00 p.m.
$8 Adults
$6 Students
$3 Students Enrolled in Workshops

Burton Twp. resident, Dave Young, is a classically trained musician who has composed music for TV, radio, film, CD’s and video games. He has worked with well known recording artists and has programed unique sounds for the world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra.

On Saturday, October 22, Dave will perform for the Arts Center audience using electronic music keyboards called synthesizers. Playing recognizable tunes, he will challenge audience members to identify the name of the music piece, as well as identify the sound of the instrument being used. The audience may hear the sounds of pianos, organs, violins, trumpets, flutes, guitars, drums, and other non-traditional sounds, all being produced by the music keyboard and Dave. Volunteers will be pulled from the audience to assist Dave with his music making. This fun and educational presentation will change the way you listen to and create music.

“Creativity through Keyboards and Computers”
Student Workshops with Dave Young
$10 non-members $9 members
Registration is required.
Students enrolled in the workshop can attend the 1 PM performance for $3.
K-6th Grade Workshop
Saturday, October 22 2:00 - 3:00 PM

Using understandable techniques, Dave will introduce the younger age group of students to the idea of using a music keyboard and a computer together to create songs. Using his laptop as his
“recording studio,” Dave will record and play back a part of a song and the students will experiment having the song play back with different instrument sounds. Dave will demonstrate how to add more parts to the song, filling it with drums, bass guitar, and other instruments. This process will enlighten the students as to how music is made today and inspire them to create their own music.

7th-12th Grade Workshop
Saturday, October 22 3:00 - 4:00 PM

Learn to create and use your own computer and music keyboard setup. Using advanced techniques, students will learn what MIDI is, how it is used in connecting the keyboard and computer together, and how it is used to compose and produce music. Music will be performed and recorded into the computer by playing from the keyboard. Notes will be viewed and edited in a variety of fashions. Students will learn to play drum beats and rhythms. A song will be created and built up to completion one part at a time. A student’s voice will be recorded and changed. Finally, Dave will mix the song, making it ready to be burned onto a CD, or converted into an MP3 file for the internet.
