3:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Film TV and Game Scoring in Music Education
Moderator: Meredith Allen, Director of Business Development, Education

  • Composing for film, television, and games is one of the fastest-growing areas of the music industry, and technology is central to preparing students for these opportunities. This session, presented with leading educators, will highlight how orchestral libraries and scoring tools connect classroom learning to real applications, building transferable skills that apply across media. Participants will explore strategies for integrating scoring practices into music programs, opening pathways to diverse and sustainable careers in the creative industries.

Saturday, January 24
10:00 AM – 11:00 AM: A3E Workshop: Directions of GenAI 2026 — Workflows, Interfaces and Agents
Speaker: Alejandro Koretzky, VP of Applied Research

  • This workshop will bring together leaders to examine how next-generation tools, interfaces, and intelligent agents are transforming the creative workflow itself. From prompt-driven composition and AI-enhanced sample generation to automated stem separation, adaptive mixing, and personalized co-creators, A3E will explore where GenAI is adding value—and where human artistry remains irreplaceable. This workshop will also look at how companies are redesigning the user experience of creativity, redefining collaboration between artist and algorithm, and setting the technical and ethical direction of music’s next AI-powered evolution.

1:30 PM – 2:00 PM: Career-Connected Learning: When Student Projects Meet Professional Standards
Speakers: Meredith Allen, Director of Business Development, Education; Dylan Wood, Production Operations Manager

  • This session examines the creative and instructional process behind a music production project in which students moved from concept to commercial release. Using a collaboration between Arizona State University’s Pop Music program and Splice as a case study, presenters demonstrate how students applied professional production tools, collaborative workflows, and established studio practices to deliver a market-ready sample pack developed in Avid Pro Tools. Educators will leave with practical strategies for designing career-connected, standards-aligned projects that build technical fluency, creative decision-making, and workplace readiness within music production and audio technology programs.
