Enriching the aural experience in audio education
Alex U. Case · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 2013
Audio education’s essential outcome is aural. Lectures and readings on aesthetics, techniques, and technologies can never communicate audio concepts effectively without critical elucidation through sound. Quality audio education has always made frequent use of laboratories, recording sessions, and critical listening classrooms to keep sound at the center of student learning. Recently authored and published web-based multimedia and digital audio workstation self-study experiences are discussed and demonstrated. The sonic illustrations, visual reinforcement, and associated interactivity are found to provide meaningful pedagogical advancements in audio education.
