Jason Corey, University of Michigan
Panelists:
Thomas Goerne, Detmold University of Music
Douglas McKinnie, Middle Tennessee State University
Hans Vesterberg, School of Music in Piteå

Abstract:
Educators will discuss pedagogical issues related to teaching audio. Success in field of audio requires an understanding of not only audio theory and concepts, but also practical experience with audio. In fact some concepts are best assimilated through practical
experience. Conversely some practical experiences require prior knowledge of the underlying theory to achieve the best results. The discussion will focus on how educators can best balance the presentation of theory and practice when teaching audio.
