What is the Soundtrap Educator Certification Program?
The Soundtrap Educator Certification Program is a comprehensive online course designed specifically for educators who want to integrate music and audio production into their teaching. This program offers a series of modules that cover various aspects of digital audio editing, recording, and production techniques using Soundtrap's cloud-based platform.
The objective of the certification program is to empower educators with the knowledge and tools needed to incorporate audio projects into their curriculum, fostering creativity and engagement among students. Through this program, teachers gain not only technical skills but also strategies for effectively using audio as a teaching tool in various subject areas.
This certification is ideal for educators across all grade levels and subjects, aiming to enhance the educational experience by making it more interactive and interdisciplinary.
Meeting Modern Educational Demands
As traditional arts programs see declining enrollment, the need for relevant and engaging educational tools becomes crucial. Soundtrap for Education and YPG have teamed up to revamp our Teacher Certification Program to meet these challenges head-on.
This enhanced program will be tailored to equip teachers with the skills needed to engage students in dynamic digital audio projects, preparing them for the future in an increasingly digital world.
“The combination of Soundtrap and the wide availability of Chromebooks and tablets in schools is one of the most important developments in music education in generations. We're honored that the Soundtrap team tapped us to take over the teacher certification program and help schools maximize this massive boost in access to modern, culturally relevant music-making tools.
Young Producers Group has been leading the way with music technology in K-12 schools and this certification course cements our place as the go-to resource for teachers that want to bring creativity into the music classroom.” - Lawrence Grey, Founder - Young Producers Group.
