I recommend that look at schools with music technology and audio production degrees. Remember just because a school is "prestigious" doesn't mean it's the best fit for you. I'm at a smaller school with an amazing audio production program and because the music department is a little smaller, I have guaranteed time in the studio, one-on-one time with my professors, and opportunities that expand my network and develops skills. This is what you want to look for in a school.

You also should figure out what type of production you're looking for. Do you want to make beats? Sit in a studio and develop an artist? Or work with artists in a live setting like at festivals and other live shows? I suggest doing everything. Take this time between now and when you're looking for colleges to decide what is your favorite thing- but keep in mind that your interests will grow in college.

Hope this helps! If you have any questions for a current Audio student in college- just let me know!

Mykel’s Answer

When you explore music production in college, there are many exciting options to consider. Some music schools provide degrees in music production, audio engineering, and music technology, along with extra focus areas like post-production and sound design. You might also be interested in a sound recording technology program. There are loads of potential careers, such as audio engineers, music producers, recording artists, music instructors, and studio engineers, just to name a few.

My top suggestion for you right now is to look up universities with programs that catch your eye and get in touch with their professors. Send them emails and arrange meetings – they can give you all the details you need. Some might even offer you a free lesson to experience what being their student would feel like. Just remember, most of these programs still ask you to play an instrument and audition.

I hope this helps you get a better idea of what's out there, and if you need more advice or support, just give me a shout!
