Summary
Soundtrap for Education is a revolutionary new, user-friendly platform for music making that disrupts how music is taught and learnt in schools across the world.
Soundtrap is a "Google for Education Partner" and was awarded "The Best Website For Teaching and Learning 2015" by the American Association of School Librarians.
Make music online by using loops and software instrument and by recording vocals, guitars and more. Invite friends to collaborate. It's free and no download is required.
Soundtrap is a digital audio workstation (DAW) accessible directly in your browser from a variety of devices, such as Windows, Mac, Chromebook, Linux, Android phones and tablets and iPads.
For example, start a new song using all the built in professional loops and software instruments on your tablet when on the bus, continue on your Chromebook when arriving at home, invite a couple of friends, who are working on Mac and Windows devices, and conduct a video chat from within the studio coming up with the bass line for the song and finally find a didgeridoo player in the Soundtrap community laying down a unique ending of the song; you are all working in the same project seeing and hearing all the changes. It's like Google Docs, but for music production!
Experience the new way of making music together.
In addition, to support the current music education, Soundtrap opens up completely new possibilities for teachers and schools. Let us give you some examples!
Assignments; create assignments to groups of students to make music (or podcasts, or spoken word). The students work from their own devices and and you as a teacher is part of the project to help and coach from where ever you are and what ever device you are holding in your hand.
