Included with the new Academic Editions is SONAR Music
Projects, a set of materials aimed at secondary school music classes. The 10
projects introduce some of SONAR's easy-to-use features and help students
develop a range of musical and technical skills. Each project contains teacher
notes and student project sheets in the PDF format, along with SONAR files. A
SONAR Skills Guide provides easy reference to the program features used in the
projects. The SONAR Music Projects CD-ROM also includes a starter set of audio
clips that are designed to inspire ideas.
Cakewalk's UK distributor, Edirol Europe (education@edirol.co.uk), is offering SONAR
Music Projects on a free CD-ROM that includes the current trial version of
SONAR, allowing teachers to explore some program basics in the context of actual
lesson material, before deciding to make a purchase.
