As a music technology major, you will be required to complete an internship in the field. Preparing you for entry to the industry post-graduation, the internship provides real world experience and an opportunity for you to begin building your professional networks. Internships must be connected to music or audio, but you are encouraged to explore a variety of opportunities. Many intern at recording studios or with live sound reinforcement companies, but others have interned at theatres, videogame companies, television production companies, churches, music publishers, and other industry players. You receive guidance on internships from the program director as well as UCM's Career and Life Design Center, which provides assistance with r茅sum茅s, cover letters, and interviewing skills. Music technology majors have interned with companies across the United States and in Europe, including the following, among others:

Paris: IRCAM

London: Blow Up Records, Kingston Green Radio

Los Angeles: Bell Sound, Emoto Studios, EMI Music Publishing, TrueTalent, Skip Saylor, Smart Post, 4th Street Recording

New York: Dubway Studios

Nashville: Emerald Recording, Castle Recording, Gotee Records, Dark Horse Studios, Omni Sound

Chicago: Engine Studios, Bosco Productions

Portland: Rex Post Production

Branson: Voices Recording

St. Louis: Technisonic, Phat Buddha, AmpSTL, Clayton Recording, 105.7 The Point

Kansas City: Chapman Recording, Kauffman Center, DSS Productions, BRC Audio Productions, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, Black Lodge Studios, Awestruck Productions, MIX93.3FM, 98.9 The Rock

Atlanta: Reach Records

Music Technology majors, like all other music majors, must pass an audition on their primary instrument/voice to be admitted to the degree. As part of the degree program, you will take lessons on your primary instrument/voice. Many music technology majors declare a traditional instrument or voice, but you may choose to declare laptop, turntables, or other technology-based instruments and audition on those as well. For more information on audition requirements for any instrument/voice, including applied technology, please see: Applications, Scholarships, and Auditions.

As a Music Technology major, you can perform in a variety of UCM Department of Music ensembles, appropriate to your primary instruments. For specific ensemble information please visit the Ensembles Page. Those students whose primary instruments are technology-based will perform in UCM's New Technologies Ensemble.

An ensemble comprised of technology-based instruments. This ensemble is open (via audition) to any UCM student who performs on laptop, turntables, or other technology-based instrument. The group performs new compositions, arrangements of traditional works, and pieces for indeterminate instrumentation. Each year, the group issues an international call for works, selecting pieces for performance written by living composers from around the world.

Studio A

 

At 1600 square feet, Studio A is at the heart of the UCM Center for Music Technology. Large enough for our student audio engineers to record UCM鈥檚 Jazz Ensemble (which we do twice a year), Studio A is one of the top recording facilities for miles in any direction.

Featuring a Rupert Neve 5088 mixing console and a wide variety of digital and analog equipment, this studio is equipped to handle anything from voiceover work and solo instrument recording to very large rock band sessions. In addition, as an All-Steinway School, we have a Steinway D grand piano in the studio.

In this studio, you develop and refine your skills as recording engineers.
