ABOUT: A five-day “experimental music starter pack” where each day explores a different way of making and thinking about sound—from building contact-mic junk instruments to sampling, radio, field recording, and performance. Together, we’ll create our own instruments, recordings, and a collaborative “concept album,” while experimenting with how music can come from everyday objects, places, and ideas. The week ends with a playful, semi-improvised performance shaped by the group’s discoveries, open to all levels of experience and curiosity.

INSTRUCTOR BIO: David Weinberg (he/him) is the founder and lead teacher of New Sounds Skool, a lifelong dabbler of the arts whose work bridges experimental music, education, and collaborative play. With over 20 years of teaching experience across public elementary schools and Montessori and Waldorf preschools—and a background in underground noise music, intermedia art, and early childhood education (M.A.T., Evergreen State College)—his approach is grounded in the belief that “everything goes with everything.” New Sounds Skool extends this ethos into a vibrant, child-centered music program where structure and spontaneity meet, inviting young people to build skills, explore sound, and imagine new possibilities for what music can be.
