Programme Synopsis This programme is tailored to relevant audio visual CCAs in schools who wish to further develop their students to run their own sound and PA systems. The learning outcome of this series will be knowledge and skill sets that are immediately useful and transferable to the CCA, students and school. Knowledge derived from this series of educational sessions would enable students to utilise and practise their skills on their school’s sound and PA systems immediately after the programme into daily and weekly setup routines of various scenarios for school events and assemblies. Besides technical knowledge, other aspects such as safety, communication skills and working as a team will be emphasised throughout the sessions. Content can be customised after a site recce at the school’s PA system and scenarios will be taught to the students to better handle various conditions when setting up PA systems. Students will be exposed to various components such as cables, microphones, stands, audio mixer, speakers, etc. that makes an event / concert sound system. Introduction to the audio mixer / soundboard will be explained and fundamentals of audio mixing will be taught. From lows to highs, setting frequencies and gains, students will walk away with knowledge of operating analog and digital soundboards. Guided by professionals with experience in the audio production and events industry, this programme also hopes to spark interest and help aspiring students who want to join the production, events and entertainment industry by providing them industry-standard exposure to audio equipment and sound system setups at concerts and events. Through fun-learning activities and hands-on experience, students can expect to take away both technical knowledge and soft skills after the series of sessions. Sample content that will be taught in the series include: - Introduction to different equipment that makes a sound system - Identifying different roles in the team when running a production - Safety, Posture, Loading and Lifting - Stage and Venue Layout (Speaker Placement, Mixer Location, Cable Pathways) - Power - Setting Mixer Levels - Connecting Mixer To Speakers - Difference between Main Speakers & Stage Monitors - Connecting Inputs To Mixer (DI Boxes, Microphones, Smartphone, Laptop, etc.) - Test System & Set Up Gain Structure - Housekeeping This blended programme can be customisable to both LIVE and DIGITAL Versions. For LIVE versions, schools can opt for an excursion to the studio to experience the full experience as an audio crew. For DIGITAL versions, students will experience the performance through platforms (such as YouTube / Vimeo / Zoom) to watch in the classrooms/during home-based learning. The DIGITAL version is a synchronous LIVE performance broadcasted from a studio, and the performances, interactions and Q&A are conducted in real-time. Asynchronous modes can be arranged and interaction segments can be done live via Zoom.
