Expression College’s Sound Arts Program is uniquely designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to become valuable members in the professional audio community. As with all Expression programs, the focus is on education through extensive hands-on experience. Students are surrounded by digital audio equipment and software as well as classic analog technology. They are given the freedom to explore various career paths with exceptional resources to optimize their experience.

To achieve the level of expertise that the industry demands, students participate in classes or labs in approximately 40-plus contact hours per week. The program offers students the opportunity to take part in numerous recording sessions; to experience mixing for CD release; to lock audio to picture; to learn surround sound, DVD authoring, and many other technologies. Students explore numerous live sound and lighting applications first-hand; develop an understanding of the psychology of the studio in both audio post and music engineering scenarios, and much more.

Training in the Sound Arts Program prepares the student for entry-level employment in careers such as music engineering, audio post-production for film and television, video games and toys, live sound for theater and concerts, MIDI production, studio management, and DVD authoring, to name a few.
