Ableton Launches Student Summer Music Challenge

Over the years, technology-assisted musical learning has become more and more accessible to an ever broader audience. The Ableton Summer Music Challenge is an attempt to support this cause by asking students to get creative with music over their summer vacations and perhaps help their school out in the process.

There will be two competition age groups in the Ableton Summer Music Challenge: under 15 and 15 to 18.

Taking the Challenge is easy: First, students upload their tracks to SoundCloud to enter the competition. Then, they share their track with the world via their favorite social networks. The tracks with the most plays by August 31, 2010 will be presented to the official Ableton Summer Music Challenge Jury.

The Jury will then select the grand prize-winners. Prizes for schools and students include:

• Ableton Live Intro audio production platform
• Novation Launchpad MIDI controller
• Novation NIO 2/4 audio interface
• SoundCloud pro account (1 year)
• Loopmasters sample collections

The Ableton Summer Music Challenge runs until August 31, 2010.
