The Music Technology Center, created by a grant from the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and the National Endowment for the Arts, was completed in 1993 and houses multiple laboratories, suites and studios for student and faculty use. The benefits of the Center to students are many.
Students can use high quality audio and video recordings to improve their skills.
From education to performance, the Center's labs provide music students with powerful tools for learning and experimentation. The flexibility and power of computer notation and sequencing are as important to musicians as word processing is to writers. Notation software allows time and energy to be focused on the creative aspects of music composition rather than on the labor of copying manuscripts by hand. Sequencing affords virtually unlimited MIDI options for recording, playback and editing. The skilled use of this technology has become a tool of the trade for many music educators and professional musicians.
