Learn how to build a delay pedal! No previous music or electronics experience necessary, but some soldering experience would definitely come in handy. We will be teaching you how to build a delay pedal, including machining and designing the enclosure, working from the schematics, as well as assembling and soldering components onto a printed circuit board, and fastening everything to the case. We will also teach you the basic principles behind the design of the pedal, and what exactly it is doing to the instrument's tone.

Learn how to drum on trash cans from the MIT Live Music Connection!  We are so excited for the 2nd rendition of TCD, where you will fast become a stick twirling, long-haired, face-melting, solo-crushing, jam-exploding, drumming phenomenon.  Well, most likely.  What we can guarantee is that, if you have a basic musical background (and even if you don't) you will get a solid primer on drumming technique, rhythm, jamming, and even collaborative writing - all on authentic steel 31 gallon trash cans.  Genres will include inspirations from: jazz, rock, funk, hip hop, r&b, and music of the Senegalese persuasion.  Have no fear, we've done this before: http://bit.ly/LMC-TCD2012-Show

Join us - we've got some sick new instructors that have signed on as well to help make you groove like you're ulna is on fire!

There will be a wait-list when more than 16 people sign up.
