This three-part series of booklets was designed as a course template for a 2-4 year course of study in electronic music making techniques (ca. 1975) for students aged from 12-18 years. The primary focus of the course is on magnetic tape techniques (recording, and editing) but with an emphasis on creativity and music making rather than electronics and technical issues.
