到底所谓的音乐制作人是怎么制作的？到底这些悦耳动听的歌曲是怎么创作出来的？为什么有的人比如周杰伦据说一顿饭功夫就可以写出一个首歌，而且很离谱的是居然好像很好听？这是天才吗？隔行如隔山，因为不了解才造成我们的盲目崇拜，就想没吃对一个东西就判断不好吃一样，是很片面的，也是很危险的。有些人可能天生就有这方面的天赋，只是没有接触到所以穷其一生都不知道自己原来是个伟大的歌手，医生，电工等等等等，所以这里就是让大家可以对所谓的音乐有一个初步的认识
大致了解音乐类型的定义和划分后我就会分享一些基础的混音及制作技能，说不定下一个周杰伦就在你们中间

近代流行音乐的发展从录音设备的发明作为标志，通过留声机将发出的声音录下来并可以反复播放标志着所有的乐器及音乐都可以直观的让人们听到，而不是通过乐谱来呈现，这样个人的演奏功力就可以很明显的对比，上世纪的6,70年代整个音乐界发展开始爆发，契机为将留声机，即唱机唱片功能进行再次开发，地下舞曲开始风靡全球，从这个时候开始整个

I'm born and raised here in Metro Detroit. I went to school here, and I now reside and work in the area. We're all here for the MACUL conference, so it seems fitting to give this presentation in Detroit. You've hopefully had a chance to see the city a little while here.

There are many names used to refer to dance music, or more specifically the dance music produced using electronic instruments. Some call it "techno" and others "EDM." Regardless of the connotation, this is all about the music.

The culture that has become associated with EDM has a lot in its history to attribute to disco. Both the inspiration and the musical style of EDM has its roots in disco music.

There's no denying it: EDM is a cultural phenomenon that is a signpost of modern culture. From dubstep to house music, from raves to festivals, techno music has evolved from a mainly underground endeavor to a widely-known era of music and world culture itself.

"It was only a few years ago when the DJ was a person lingering in the background, pumping music for people at a given party. Today, the DJ is the event. We all hail the person behind the decks, that rockstar whose own productions are what fans come to hear." ~VIBE

But this presentation isn't important because I was born and live here. It's important because Detroit is the birthplace of techno. Artists like Kevin Saunderson and Carl Craig pioneered this electronic music in Detroit back in the 1980s. The underground warehouse rave parties where this music was first introduced to the public happened initially here in Detroit.

So, what if your students wanted to be in your schools and classrooms with the same energy that they want to go to a concert or music festival? Wouldn't this be the level of "engagement" we all strive to achieve as educators? Don't we want learning to be a positive, fun, and memorable experience for our students? Well, DJs seem to have a recipe for success with that sort of thing, so maybe we should take a lesson from Mr. Mau5 (pronounced, "Mouse")

Today techno music has caught on, and Detroit hosts an epic annual music festival that was launched here at the turn of the century.

EDM culture has grown into its own thing, distinct from disco, and including many positive, yet a few negative, aspects of the fan base.

These four words come from a song by Fatboy Slim, a legendary producer and DJ whose work considerably advanced the electronic music scene over the years. These words embody some aspects of the EDM culture, but moreover get the crowd going.

This presentation will focus on some aspects of rave culture as it relates to the music, but is not intended to condone/advocate any of the negatives that have become associated with rave culture over time, e.g., drug use and the like. The terms "rave" and "raving," in this presentation, are used more generally to refer to the enjoyment of electronic music and dancing.

Just like Woodstock and the classic rock era of music had "hippie" culture, not all hippies were drug abusers, nor was the intention of the music to condone nor advocate for illicit actions.

In contrast to the negative perceptions of rave culture, the mantra PLUR (peace, love, unity, and respect) came out of the world of rave culture and remains a moniker of the music scene today. What's more, is the culture of EDM has done much to promote positivity, with most of the music being upbeat and having positive themes. Forming the heart shape with two hands is a more recent element of EDM culture and represents a love for the music and the community feel of the culture.

One of the figurehead players in the EDM genres is a 34-year-old man, Joel Zimmerman, who goes by the stage name Deadmau5 (pronounced, "dead mouse") and wears a large mouse head during his live performances. His music is well-known to the fans of EDM and his live performances are equally memorable. He produces plenty of original music and plays epic live sets. He also writes a blog about electronic music, and has revealed some of his own "secrets" of production. Most notably, he has stated that all DJs at some point or another in their career pre-record portions of their live sets and let them hit the speakers at a concert. He describes it in this way, "we all hit play sometimes."

Let's introduce ourselves to the EDM genre, and one of its subgenres--dubstep--with a little help from Dubba Johnny's "A Brief Introduction on Dubstep Production."

Because the technology allows anyone to figure out how to DJ and Produce music, it's possible for anyone to enter the field; however, that doesn't guarantee that anyone can do it. Just like there are many ways for a person to become a teacher, and the teaching profession has been misrepresented by some who believe any person can be a teacher.

Martin Garrix, a Dutch DJ/Producer, entered the main scene of EDM at the ripe old age of 17 with the release of his track 'Animals.' That means he could have been my physics student when he was playing live in front of tens of thousands of people as scene here. What that tells us is two things, among others: 1) the technology has flattened the on-ramp to becoming a DJ/Producer so that it's more accessible, and 2) EDM is something that is deeply interconnected with youth culture.

It does raise a number of questions, however, one of which is the integrity of the music itself, if it's supposedly so easy to produce. And there is where DJs strike up something in common with teachers.

The equipment and software needed to produce electronic dance music is affordable and accessible. Many DJs and Producers of EDM are able to create tracks with little more than a laptop computer and some software.

So, let's dive in further and learn more about the work of a DJ and see what other connections to teaching we can make. We've touched on it so far, but let's clearly identify the two primary roles of a DJ in EDM.

This brings us to the second role that a DJ has, and that is of a music producer. In order to stand out from the crowd, and to "be together, not the same" in the world of EDM, DJs must also produce their own original music. They need to hunker down behind the screens, call up the software, and get composing. If they don't, they run the risk of becoming irrelevant. In the world of EDM, getting noticed among all the other DJs is not easy, especially since the technology makes mixing digital music so available and accessible. So, if a DJ also produces their own original tracks or special remixes of others' work, then they can mix those into their live sets and create an altogether unique experience for the listener.

While the technology makes it accessible, make no mistake: the work of music production in the electronic era is complicated. You must understand math and science, as well as have deft computer skills and a musical foundation to be successful.

There are games that promote the concept of "anyone can DJ," like DJ Hero. Thus, career DJs fight a perception that what they do isn't much more difficult than playing a video game.

No good presentation goes without compelling data. So, here are some numbers: according to a 2013 report by Resident Advisor’s Top 100 DJs in the world survey, only two were not producing their own original music. That means that 98% of the top DJs in the world also are producers.

The equipment alone looks like it has a steep learning curve!

While the work of being a DJ might seem simplistic, it's actually much more complex, because not only does it require technical musical skill, it requires creating an experience--an epic and memorable experience--for the fans and listeners.

You never know who will be come the next great DJ/Producer, nor do you know at what age that interest will spark. Let's create learning environments and experiences that inspire kids to make learning as exciting and attractive as music is to a DJ's fans.
