Teaching Career

Wannarit Pongprayoon Teaching Career

Wannarit began his teaching journey in 2001, when he was invited to teach at Prart Music School, introducing one of Thailand’s first Computer Music classes. At that time, making music on a computer was still a new concept, and his class became an open and friendly space for students of all ages to explore software like Logic Audio, basic recording setups, and digital sound production.

From 2001 to 2008, he also wrote regularly for Commusic Magazine and Overdrive, two of Thailand’s leading music publications of the time. His articles were written in a friendly, down-to-earth tone for Thai readers nationwide — from professional producers in pop and luk thung scenes to independent musicians starting their own bedroom studios. His writing helped many readers understand the shift from analog to digital recording and inspired them to create music on computers in simple, approachable ways.

Between 2011 and 2018, Wannarit worked as a lecturer in the Commercial Music Department at Silpakorn University, teaching Producer Practice, a hands-on course that combined both technical and creative approaches. His classes covered basic electronics, cable soldering and wiring, DIY jack-making, computer music production, sound synthesis, and sampling techniques. He encouraged students to apply electronic music creatively in their live performances — designing setups, customizing controllers, and experimenting with sound to suit their artistic ideas.

Many of his former students have since become producers, musicians, and artists active in Thailand’s contemporary and international music scenes.

Wannarit has also served as a guest lecturer in sound design and music technology for film and animation students at several universities, including: 

University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce

King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (Communication Arts Department & Institute of Music Science and Engineering)

Huachiew Chalermprakiet University Srinakharinwirot University

Bangkok University

Chandrakasem Rajabhat University

His first experience teaching children was at MIFA Music School, where he conducted music appreciation classes. He introduced electronic music such as Kraftwerk to young students, encouraging them to listen imaginatively and to understand that music can exist beyond traditional instruments.

Later, at Bankruawittaya School, Wannarit created DIY instrument workshops, where children built their own sound-making tools using PVC pipes, balloons, cardboard, sand, and even water. They decorated their instruments, wrote short stories and songs, and performed them together. The workshops blended music, art, language, and craft into a fun and creative group activity — transforming the classroom into a joyful, imaginative space for learning through play and collaboration.
