Bachelor of Arts in Music in Music Technology

George Mason University - INTO USA

Music and Technology have a long and fruitful relationship. Old and new technology is woven into various aspects of our musical heritage. Our program provides students with a strong grasp of the technical and theoretical aspects of music, audio recording, and production. Music Technology is a field of study and practice characterized by integrations and fusions of musical and technological knowledge and skills to produce work for various artistic, commercial, research, educational, and other purposes. In this field, digital and emerging technology serves as the primary tool for musical and music-related work. Such music-centered work includes, but is not limited to, production, recording, manipulation, systems design, installation, software and hardware development, and the wide variety of audio fields such as concert and event, film, game, and audio design. The Dewberry School of Music’s close proximity to other areas within the College of Visual and Performing Arts promotes an environment of trans-disciplinary collaboration.
