Our revised music education curriculum is now infused with much greater training in Music Technology – including a four-course sequence covering digital music production, digital audio editing, sequencing, recording/sampling, mixing, hands-on work with advanced notation software, and a course dedicated to the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Our 21st Century Music Technology and Keyboard Labs are outfitted with the latest iMac computers, audio interfaces, M-Audio Oxygen Keyboard Controllers, and Korg Stage Vintage Pianos. Students will have hands-on experiences with Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Finale 27, and Kontakt Komplete. This will allow our graduates to expertly integrate the computer and related technologies into their teacher’s toolbox, creating a new dynamic learning environment in their classroom and rehearsal room. Additional curricular content has been added to include Urban and Inclusive Teaching Practices, which will support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Outstanding in-depth training will continue in Musicianship (Performance, Composition and Aural Skills), Western and World Music History, Music Teaching Methods, Piano Skills, and practical strategies for Teaching Music to Special Learners. |
