Max/MSP/Jitter Classes

I’m doing a series of Max/MSP/Jitter classes in Seattle over the next few months.  Some of these are at 911 Media Arts, and I plan to do a special small one at the SEAC Clubhouse as well. 

the 911 classes are as follows:
Intro to Max/MSP - Dec.10, 6-9pm
Intro to Jitter - Dec. 17, 6-9pm
Max/MSP night school - Tuesday-Thursday, January 13, 15, 20, 22 6-9pm
Jitter night school - Tuesday-Thursday, January 27, 29, February 3, 5, 6-9pm

course descriptions and more info are at http://www.911media.org/workshops/ .

costs for the 911 classes are
for the 3-hour classes: students - $ 10 members - $ 15 non members- $ 35
for the night school classes: members - $ 255 non members - $ 325

I am also planning to do a special intensive class at the SEAC Clubhouse, a space on Capitol Hill for electronic arts events.  This class will be approachable if you have taken one of the one-night intros, or worked through some of the tutorials on your own.  The idea of the intensive is that there will be topics for group study, selected in part by people attending, as well as work time where I can come around and do one-on-one assistance with people. If you bring a project or idea of your own to work on, I want to you be able to make significant headway on it during the class.

Cycling’74, publishers of the software, has agreed to give the participants educational discounts on the full Max/MSP/Jitter package, during or one week after the class.  The full bundle is normally $699.  The class will be $400, which is about what you will save on the educational discount, so if you are thinking of getting Max/MSP/Jitter anytime soon hopefully this seems like a good opportunity.  Maximum enrollment will be 10 or 12.

The class will be five three-hour evenings.  I would like some input here on what time will be best for people.  I want to start Jan. 5, and have it either MTWThF that week or Mondays and Wednesdays on the 5th, 7th, 12th, 14th, and 19th. either 6-9pm or 7-10pm.  If you are interested in the class, please send me an email to rej [at] 2uptech.com with a preference for one-week or Mon/Wed, and the 6-9 or 7-10 time slot.  What I’ll do then is: find the best time, and take deposits from people by PayPal to reserve seats.  And if you would like to take a class but January is just too soon, let me know and I’ll keep you posted.

A bunch of people over the past few years have told me they wanted to take a class like this.  So I hope this one meets yr needs!
