Item 1. Program Goals and Objectives
In the changing landscape of careers in music in the 21st century, an emphasis on audio production supports students in ways that are relevant to their current and future needs. Expedited recently by the restrictions placed on performing ensembles and public performances of music, these needs have been made all the more apparent. Music is changing rapidly, and relies much more heavily on production technology and techniques to reach audiences. This CTE certificate will operate in tandem with our new Audio Recording Suite within AC3, providing students with access to professional equipment and experiences. Through completion of this certificate, students will be prepared to establish and operate their own home or mobile studio business as well as internships or entry-level careers in the audio production field.
Program Learning Outcomes
A student who successfully completes this degree will be able to:
- Prepare and operate audio systems for recording, mixing and mastering.
- Explain the history of audio production and important musical and technological developments and relate them to modern audio production techniques.
- Assemble a portfolio of audio recordings as self-promotion and marketing materials for entering the workforce.
Item 2. Catalog Description
The Certificate of Achievement in Audio Production provides aspiring music producers access to the essential technology, techniques, and business practices they need to pursue additional studies or a career in music production and is part of a series of Commercial Music certificates.

The focus is on operating a home or mobile studio while gaining fluency with the basic operations of a professional recording studio.
