Te Kura student creates digital music

Full-time Year 10 student, Jae Herekiuha, is using open-source software and a Te Kura music course to take his skills to the next level.

Jae is enrolled in Te Kura as a Te Ara Hou student who completes an integrated programme of learning. He's a talented student who has chosen Music as one of his optional subjects, and is now producing MP3s of his own work.

‘I downloaded free Audacity software to record my vocals – it lets you record over beats,’ explains Jay. ‘I then saved my vocals, and used an editor called Adobe Audition 3.0 to mix and master my vocals.

‘I’d like to pursue my music to the point where I have to go the extra mile to succeed – I want to be heard.’
