MUSIC TECHNOLOGY CONCENTRATION
MISSION
The Program will provide students with solid instruction in the variety of ways computer technology is
employed in the music industry. It will cover essentials such as computer software, basic studio design,
arranging, songwriting, Internet and World Wide Web applications. Courses in music theory and music history
give a broad background in the understanding of music styles and genres. A course in business rounds out the
curriculum and allows for the understanding of law as it applies to contracts, copyright and the electronic
media. A Performance Senior Project is required to complete the concentration. In addition to the 28 semester
hours of the Music Technology Concentration, students must successfully complete 93 semester hours of
General Education and Fine Arts Requirements. It is suggested that all students enroll in an applied lesson each
semester of enrollment, and participate in one of the several performance opportunities.
