| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Introduction to Synthesis Using Massive
Doesn't matter
Music
20 students
The lesson aligns with the UK's national curriculum for music, focusing on the understanding of music technology and digital composition.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Synthesis | 5 mins | Briefly explain what sound synthesis is. Discuss its importance in modern music. Use the projector to show examples of synthesized sounds. |
| 2 | Overview of Massive | 5 mins | Introduce the Massive synthesizer interface. Point out key sections such as oscillators, filters, and effects. Demonstrate how to load a preset. |
| 3 | Guided Exploration | 10 mins | Allow students to explore the preset sounds in Massive on their computers. Encourage them to tweak parameters like pitch and filter settings. |
| 4 | Create a Simple Sound | 5 mins | Guide students in creating their own simple sound. Show them how to adjust oscillators and use modulation to experiment with sound design. |
| 5 | Share and Discuss | 3 mins | Facilitate a discussion where students can describe their created sounds. Encourage them to use correct terminology and concepts discussed. |
| 6 | Homework Assignment | 2 mins | Assign students to create a unique sound at home using Massive. They should write a short description of their sound design process. |
Students will create a unique sound using Massive at home. They must document their sound design process in written form, including the steps they took and the settings they adjusted. This will be collected for review without a formal presentation in class.
