This session offers a practical introduction to ElektroLOUD, JM Norway’s approach to making music production more accessible, playful and inclusive for children and young people. Teaching music production can be challenging: the software can feel overwhelming, the possibilities seem endless, and many young people do not easily see themselves in the producer role. In this workshop, participants will get to experience some of the methods and exercises developed through ElektroLOUD to lower these barriers and spark curiosity.

The session includes hands-on activities that can be used to explore music production with kids and youth, regardless of previous experience. It will be facilitated by former participants, highlighting peer learning and the importance of creating spaces where young people can grow through experimentation, shared ideas and confidence-building.

The workshop also marks the release of JM Norway’s new ElektroLOUD handbook (in Norwegian): a practical resource for anyone who wants to teach or lead activities in electronic music production. The handbook gathers methods and reflections developed through years of practice and is designed as a flexible tool for educators, facilitators and organisers.
