JackTrip Training Program
JackTrip Training is offered through our Network Arts Training Program in partnership with JackTrip Foundation. The program instructs professionals from arts, technology, and education nonprofit fields in operation and applications of JackTrip Network Music Technology, a system for high-quality audio network performance over the internet that supports bidirectional, low-latency, multichannel, uncompressed audio streaming.
Developed by Chris Chafe and his team at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) in Stanford University, JackTrip has been in use since the early 2000’s for live network arts performance. Early users included NowNet Arts directors, composers, and performers, facilitating and inspiring the NowNet Arts organization, amongst the myriad of significant work and organizations in the early JackTrip community. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, JackTrip has been adapted for use on home internet connections with wide applications for professional music and music education, including development of the JackTrip Virtual Studio from JackTrip Labs.
JackTrip Training is taught by experienced instructors with technical information maintained by CCRMA and NowNet Arts. The program is hosted online utilizing weekly asynchronous video instruction, a weekly synchronous lab with live instructors, assignments, ongoing discussion groups, reference materials, and culminating project presentations for a certificate of completion.
