What I love most about [studying Electronic Music and Sound Design at UWA] is how everything is so practical and hands-on – we always start composing and using the software right from the very first class. I also enjoy hearing other people’s work in class, since everyone has a different approach to composing and we all have slightly different music styles which is great as we all learn from each other.
