Strategies for teaching digital audio theory to music students In this paper, effective classroom strategies are presented for teaching digital audio theory to music students. Particularly challenging for the professor is that many music/audio engineering/technology programs (often based in schools or colleges of music) do not include long sequences of coursework leading up to a traditional engineering-based digital signal processing course. As a result, students may be entering their digital audio courses without prior experience in signals and systems, differential equations, Laplace theory, calculus or electrical circuit theory. Here a methodology for teaching digital audio to music students is presented incorporating three basic principles of multimedia learning.
