New at the Skidmore Jazz Institute – Avid Pro Tools Workshop! 

This new workshop, offered during the two-week summer Institute, will give students a hands-on opportunity to learn a basic understanding of Avid Pro Tools, the preeminent recording software in the music industry. Students will participate in and observe the recording process and gain a better understanding of how editing and mixing techniques can be utilized to capture and enhance their music. These sessions, taught in the Zankel Music Center by John Nazarenko, Skidmore College Senior Artist-in-Residence, will show Institute musicians how to use the latest recording techniques to promote themselves and further develop their compositions, arrangements, and musical skills.
