	Hi, I am proud to tell that I was asked to make a small introduction about Csound in the Estonian Academy of Music. Mostly Max is used there for teaching sound synthesis and actually nobody has experience almost any experience with csound. A small group of motivated students and some teachers of the electronic music studio gathered, I had a 2-hour presentation and it raised a l ot of interest. I showed: - how to write a simple sine wave instrument to introduce the syntax and principles of cound language - how to use csound as plugin in a DAW (I used CsLadspa and Ardour but told also about Cabbage and Cs4Live) - how csound can run in PD or Max usinng csoundapi~ - how it can handle external controllers using python also not stricly sound porducing context since it has good time-based score language - how very different programs can work together over OSC messages or csound API The last example used scanned synthesis to demonstrate also some of the things unique to csound. People listened with great interest, in the end of the lecture some of them had already downloaded csound and csoundqt (although I did not aske them to) and got their first sine-beeps out of their laptops. Anyway the myth that csound is something extremely complex and unapproachable, was broken. And the main tacher of Max/MSP told that he will start to learn csound ;) greetings, tarmo
