Music Technology

Students reinforce and further develop their comprehensive musicianship skills. They will use their individual creative process and working knowledge of music and technology to enhance live performances. Students will also capture sound from these performance and engineer the audio into high-quality recordings.

Students will learn and demonstrate music creation skills and composition techniques. They will use production techniques to perform their created works and audio recording techniques to capture the performances. Skills in keyboard, guitar, vocals, and any other necessary instruments will be acquired. The "How-to" of creating music for a certain audience or a specific instruction will be developed, often through composing music for other NVAA components.

Students will partake in an in-depth study of music in a recording studio setting. They will work with audio engineers, producers, and performers. The class is structured so that students will be placed in local recording studios and receive internship credit.
