What’s the difference between sound synthesis and low voltage electrical engineering? Not much. Let’s go on a journey and explore the science of sound, digital audio, and hit songs. Need STEM Speakers for YOUR program? Use the form on bottom of page.
Discover Science and Music
Musical Instrument Digital Interface [MIDI] is a communication protocol or computer language used in music production. MIDI Control Messages are used to control the Magic Kingdom Parade at Walt Disney World‘s Magic Kingdom as well as the dancing fountains at Bellagio in Las Vegas. MIDI is the “gateway code” and MIDI sequencing is called programming.
Music education is a launchpad into the arts and sciences.

Did you know audio engineers use the inverse square law to calculate microphone placement? Microphones are a type of transducer and they convert acoustic energy into electric energy. Some microphones work like small generators and use electromagnetic induction to create a signal. However others work like capacitors and store energy. Whereas, crystal microphones the use the piezoelectric effect. This is incredible science to learn!

STEAM Talks
In this activity, students will explore the vibrating nature of sound and how it converts from analog to digital. Students will experiment with how sound waves or vibrations can be observed.
A microphone is a device – a transducer – that converts sound into an electrical signal. Some mics use magnetic induction, some are like capacitors, and others use piezoelectricity. It’s fascinating.
2019 has already shaped up to be a huge year for podcasting. Learn about podcasting structure, production and what market conditions are now enabling the growth of this relatively new medium
The voice is the primary means of communication. This STEAM Talk tour-guides you through the essential concepts and workflows to master the art of vocal production for music or broadcast.
MIDI, Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a technical standard that describes a communications protocol that connects a wide variety of electronic musical instruments and computers for playing, editing and recording music.
Audio technology is a combination of hardware and software. The future recording studio will almost certainly continue to be a hybrid of digital and analog systems. Explore the past, present, and future of audio engineering.
Music has changed the course of history. For us to reclaim music as something more than entertainment, we must be better students of history. In this STEAM Talk we study music from a historical point of view.
If your song is broadcast on the radio, TV, satellite or cable, appears in a movie, commercial or is performed live, you should know your rights. This talk covers the basics of music copyrights, licensing, and publishing.
