CNMAT’s educational program includes a wide range of opportunities for UC Berkeley students and outside scholars, artists, and music lovers.

The CNMAT Max/MSP/Jitter Depot [1] is an online library of software that is freely available for download and use: included are tools for artists and researchers, educational materials for students and teachers, and complete musical works for exploration and analysis.

The Music Information Center [2] is an online annotated list of web resources in computer music and new music in general, recommended by the CNMAT community. From tutorials on recording technique to residencies for composers, from the history of electronic music to third-party externals for Max/MSP, the Music Information Center is an ever-growing directory of materials concerned with new music in general and the creation of electronic and computer music.

CNMAT offers a changing menu of summer workshops, with recent workshops in Max/MSP, Jitter, and sensors. These intensive workshops provide attendees with a comprehensive look at the implications of the technology in question for research and artistic creation, while also developing the familiarity with the fundamentals necessary for continued study. Students leave each workshop with an array of tools to explore and use in their own work.

The University courses listed below are supported by CNMAT technologies, and are offered through the Department of Music at UC Berkeley.
