Doncaster College, which runs a highly successful music and technology degree course, is running its conference, 'Music & Sound Technology in Education', in July.

Yamaha's Music Production section will be there on Mon 7th & Tue 8th July to run morning demonstrations covering key pieces of equipment and instruments that will be of interest to educators. In the afternoons we will run a workshop for a maximum of 20 teachers on recording using the Pocketrak 2G mp3 recording device. After some basic instruction, teachers will be lent a Pocketrak and sent off to record something before transferring the recordings on to the college's Mac computers for editing - again all under expert supervision.

On each day one winning recording will be selected by Yamaha staff and its creator will be given the Pocketrak to take home as a prize! 

The Pocketrak is an ideal tool for recording live performance, speech, interviews, podcast creation and gathering audio evidence for pupil assessment in the classroom - in music and across the curriculum.
