Item 1. Program Goals and Objectives
Beyond the technical skills required to operate professional studio equipment, students who wish to pursue a career in musical performance of any genre, including traditional styles like jazz and classical music, must develop specific performance skills related to contemporary studio recording and live music performance. This CTE program includes a study of the development of this form of performance throughout the 20th and 21st centuries as well as real-world performance experiences. Coupled with the professional facilities on our campus, students will develop performance practice abilities across multiple genres using the latest technology. This emphasizes the role of the session or studio musician and supports the technical programs like Audio Production and Live Sound.
Program Learning Outcomes
A student who successfully completes this degree will be able to:
- Prepare for commercial music performance opportunities including studio recording and live performance.
- Contrast the performance practice skills required for traditional versus commercial music performance.
- Assemble a portfolio of recordings as a performer for self-promotion and marketing materials geared toward a career in performance.
Item 2. Catalog Description
