WAUS and the Andrews music department are in a unique position to partner in providing not only quality performances, but also opportunities to train student engineers to produce good recordings. The Upton grant will improve the qualifications of recording engineers graduating from the Andrews Department of Music as well as improve the integrity of mobile recording equipment. These developments will be used for the purpose of recording live musical performances for broadcast, CD production, archiving, and other remote recording needs as necessary. The Upton grant was matched by PVT and private donors.

Artists and members of music ensembles will have a unique opportunity to participate in quality recording sessions.
