Teaching Music with Beaterator

Posted November 20, 2009 at 8:56pm | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games, Music

Rockstar Games and Dubspot, the premier music production and DJing institute, are proud to be bringing Beaterator for PSP into classrooms and after-school programs in the New York City area and beyond, as part of a partnership to assist in educating the youth of today in the fundamental aspects of music theory and composition utilizing mobile technology and Beaterator.

The highly experienced instructors from Dubspot help navigate students through Beaterator’s interface while providing tips for beat-making and highlighting the basic principles and terminology associated with music creation. By the end of the course, students are able to construct a beat from scratch using drumkits and melodies and layer their own vocals over their unique beat.

CBS 2 in New York went inside the classroom with us for a story on today's 5 PM news broadcast. You can check out the story at the link below.

We would also like to thank NAMM for including Beaterator as part of their Wanna Play? Music program.
