In the years before the Music Technology Center was constructed, most music technology labs were small spaces, the keys to which were in the possession of a few trusted graduate assistants. Now, our freshman and sophomore students are given the opportunity to learn music notation software and numerous ear training drill programs. As part of their required coursework, many students are given the opportunity to perform in a recording studio and to learn the differences between this environment and the stage. Much of our class piano curriculum is computerized. Band Techniques students learn the current drill design software.
Performers can create accompaniment tapes with which to practice.
Other software applications are available for students in history and education courses. Courses specific to Music Technology. These courses also serve to complement our integrated curriculum. UNC Music Technology provides instruction to supplement all other degree programs in the School of Music.
