Music Technology Internships
Hands-on Experience
Experiential learning plays an essential role in a robust liberal arts education. Recognizing this, the Music Department emphasizes opportunities for students to apply their skills in the real world. Students learn to operate a recording studio, use recording and mixing consoles and digital audio workstations, sound reinforce and record live concerts, build and solder electronic circuits, and professionally mix and record music. Students put those skills to use in internship and work opportunities at local studios, live sound venues and production companies, and audio equipment manufacturers.

"There's a surprising amount of avenues within the umbrella of ‘music technology,’ and it's hard to pin down something I enjoy the most. The most obvious track would be working in a recording studio, but I can also be a mix engineer, mastering engineer, record/edit dialogue and foley for movies and games, build synthesizers or microphones, or even code virtual instruments!"
