You should be in the Beginner Level if:
The closest you’ve come to digital production is playing a CD

You should be in the Advanced Level if:

People look to you for guidance on computer-related issues

Beginner   Advanced
If you’re not certain which level fits you best, pick the one that you think you’d be more comfortable with, keeping in mind that the pacing of the level and attention to any single students’ understanding if he or she is in the wrong level of the course can’t be adjusted to accommodate individual needs.

If your first choice of location is full, do you want to be considered for another city?

Check all options for which you’re willing to be considered.

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the seminars for our funder, all participants will be asked to enter information into an online database to track their use of new technologies in accessing and broadcasting music by independent artists. Even if you do not immediately use any new technologies for this purpose, you are expected to complete these forms. Do you agree to submit information about your usage of new technologies for 6 months after the conclusion of the seminar?
Yes     No
