Music Media/Business
The University of Texas at Arlington offers a Bachelor of Music degree with emphases in Music Media and Music Business. These programs are designed to give students the skills necessary to succeed in the music industry, and they combine long-established principles of listening and musicality with new philosophies about equipment and the current music industry. Changes in curriculum, a brand new recording studio and new faculty are just a few of the exciting changes taking place at UT Arlington. Music Media at UT
Arlington: Designed for musicians wanting to pursue a career in audio production, students take classes in Digital Music Technology, three semesters of Recording Techniques, Business of Music, as well as Introduction to Musical Acoustics. Students also have the opportunity to take classes in Sound and Post-Production, Theater Sound Design, and Music in Film, among others. Critical listening, audio recording techniques, combining MIDI and audio, editing, and multitracking are just a few of the skills that students learn at UTA. Using Studio 301 and Irons Hall, students learn how to record diverse genres of music, such as classical music, jazz and pop/rock. We believe the best audio engineers combine the ears of a musician with the technical capabilities of an engineer. Music Business at UT
