Meyer Sound announces 2024 education programme

In celebration of its 45th anniversary, Meyer Sound has launched an expanded 2024 education programme, building on the company’s revamped 2023 initiatives, which engaged more than 1,800 students through 50 in-person trainings around the world, and through coursework in the Meyer Sound Learning online platform.

"As the pace of audio technology accelerates, Meyer Sound is strengthening its commitment to education programmes, which we see as investing in the future of the industry,” said Robyn Bykofsky, Meyer Sound’s training and education manager. “Our training programmes are aimed at all experience levels, with science-backed in-person and virtual course content that fits the way people learn today.”

Building on 2023’s pilot programme, the Meyer Sound Learning platform has expanded its offerings, including supplemental online training materials, on-demand e-learning content and virtual instructor-led sessions.

Meyer Sound has also announced the launch of a scholarship programme this spring, for women and gender-expansive people in the live sound industry. Accepted applicants receive a 100% tuition discount on Meyer Sound’s public in-person trainings, with dedicated spaces in each training.

“Not only do we offer industry leading learning resources, we strive to foster equitable access to those resources,” Bykofsky explained. “We place a strong emphasis on representation, reaching out to women and gender-expansive individuals. By doing so, we’re not just shaping the future of sound, but building a future where everyone's voice is heard and valued.”
