NEW Digital Music Certificate Program
The new Digital Music Certificate Program addresses current advancements
in the development of digital music systems and their widespread applications
in both music, visual media, and multimedia productions. The courses are
specially designed for students of all levels who are interested in electronic
music, MIDI, commercial music, digital recording, music and sound for
visual media, and audio for multimedia and the Internet. The curriculum
provides students with hands-on experience and a working knowledge of
the creative and technical issues surrounding the production of digital
audio content and its application and synchronization within other media,
as well as a solid foundation in the fundamentals of music.
The certificate
will help prepare students for career opportunities, professional development,
and personal enrichment in the fields of digital music production and
distribution, commercial music, multimedia audio design, music software
design, and audio for visual media. The one year program (17 units) includes
the courses Intro to MIDI, Digital Music Systems, and Digital Audio for
Multimedia, plus courses in basic music theory, piano skills, and music
appreciation. There are no prerequisites, although Intro to MIDI and Class
Piano are the best places to start. Courses may be repeated to further
enhance your understanding, skill-set, and project portfolio. Advanced
students record selected projects on CD. Many courses are offered in the evening.
