       PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK:

 1. Did you find this course useful and in what way?

        A great help to my GCSE's... Wicked!

  • I have learnt about Logic, not just technical information but compositional advice also.

  • It helped me get a much better understanding of Logic.

  • I found it very interesting and helpful towards the work I have to do for school, and a greater understanding in the programme allowed me to be more creative.

 2. Do you think these courses are a good idea and why?

       they help people learn new things.


  • Yes, good to be in a small group. It's not in school curriculum.

  • Yes, because they give people who wouldn't usually have the chance, a chance at midi sequencing and producing.

 What would you like to see more of in the future?

- Maybe, song competitions.

  • I enjoyed the soft synths course, something along these lines would be fun again.
