Sennheiser Supports Soundgirls.org Live Sound Camps
Stage Directions: Sennheiser supplied 20 (each) of their professional HD 280 headphones and evolution series microphones for Soundgirls.org to use in their four Live Sound Camps. The camps were held across the U.S. and gave middle and high school-aged girls the opportunity to get hands-on training with professional audio gear.

I'm so glad someone has taken the time to not only create curriculum for kids to learn about running live sound, but to give the opportunity exclusively to girls. Its difficult to find anything that teaches to the more technical side of live art; kids are constantly pushed towards becoming performers. However, theirs plenty of kids who want to submerse themselves in the performing arts world without being performers. I'm especially excited that the program is catered towards girls, because all technical theater, especially sound, is a very male-oriented field. It's even better that Sennheiser, a high-quality, professional audio gear company recognizes what this camp enables young girls to learn and realizes that they could be the future of the industry, and allows them an opportunity to learn, no matter their economic status. I know a camp like this is something i would have loved to partake in a few years ago, when I thought there was no camp for kids with my interests.
I would love the opportunity to have a hands on experience in sound design and simple workshops to help myself grow in the that sphere. To have professional grade headphones and high quality microphones would be a dream. As someone who was pulled into sound design by theater experience I would like the opportunity to tinker around with actual tools I'd use in real studio workspace rather than public domain apps and poor quality mics and speakers that I have to work with. I just recently even learned what the difference between a wav and a mp3 file was. As someone who also got into songwriting because of theater I would have cherished the chance to learn how to edit sounds and recordings in order to polish my skills on both sides and see which one I'm better at or, even better, to master them both. Soundgirls sounds truly inspiring to me, especially given how brushed over my interests in these two subjects tend to be.
