Music production is an activity within the music ecosystem that allows for the development of creative projects through recording. It requires an integrated understanding of musical, technical, and market aspects in order to create artistic works in tangible or digital media.
This minor concentration allows students to acquire a basic foundation for exploring this discipline in music. The minor concentration requires courses in performance fundamentals and music theory, which are then integrated into practical courses in sound recording and editing.
Changes in the digital landscape and the entertainment industry have amplified the value of creative content across media platforms. In recent years, music business models have shifted toward digital, requiring artists to create musical works with the level of quality and innovation that audiences expect. Beyond talent in composition and instrumental performance, music professionals need to understand how creative processes translate into musical pieces, whether for audiovisual production, video games, music platforms, or social media. This narrower focus will broaden career opportunities for students interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry.
