Are the Music Technology minors good preparation for the graduate program in Sound Recording?
A number of the Sound Recording prerequisite courses are also part of the MAT minor in Music Technology and thus, students can potentially complete the requirements for the MAT minor while also pursuing the qualifying year courses. The MST minor in Music Technology has a strong focus on programming and technology that may not be directly applicable or useful to sound recording. It prepares students to work in fields such as software development and sound design, as well as for the Master’s and PhD Degrees in Music Technology (see below). Please note that Music Technology and Sound Recording are two independent (and very different) areas inside the Music Research Department of the Schulich School of Music at McGill University. If you are interested in Sound Recording, please check their webpage.
