💻 Music Technology

Music Technology (or Music Tech) focuses on the tools, techniques, and processes used to record, edit, mix, master, and produce music using digital and electronic means. This field encompasses:

• Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs): Learning software like Pro Tools, Logic, or Ableton to create and manipulate sound.

• Recording & Engineering: Understanding microphones, acoustics, signal flow, and mixing techniques.

• Electronic Music Production: Using synthesizers, samplers, and MIDI to compose and create new sounds and genres.

• Sound Design: Creating and manipulating sounds for use in music, film, games, or other media.

Music Technology is crucial for any student interested in modern production, sound engineering, game audio, or simply using contemporary tools to enhance their performance or theory studies.

 

🎼 Music Theory

Music Theory is the language and grammar of music. It provides the tools to understand how music is constructed. By studying theory, you'll learn about rhythm, harmony (chords and their relationships), melody, and form. This knowledge is vital because it allows you to analyze, compose, improvise, and understand the deep structure of any piece of music, which greatly enhances both your appreciation and your performance skills.
