Valley Jazz Orchestra Students Record and Release Vicious Fishes Album
Music Production
Before the album drops, before the curtain goes up, and before the next must-have video game goes on sale, audio engineers sculpt the sonic landscapes that bring these creations to life. Whether you’re interested in the music industry, gaming, or the performing arts, learn from experts using the same gear used by the pros.
In our Music Production program, you'll start mixing tracks during your first week on campus. From there, you'll get a complete overview of the profession from faculty who are also professionals. Classes will cover studio recording, sound design, interactive & immersive media, and more.

In Their Words
The best part about being an AMP major at LVC is the freedom to use the school’s studios and equipment outside of class time. Being able to take what we learn in class and put it into practice immediately has enhanced my education tenfold.

LVC introduced me to the key concepts and building blocks I use as an engineer. Courses such as music theory and aural theory may not pertain specifically to recording, but they helped me become more musically literate, which can be a major advantage in my field.
