Music Technology – ROARS Studio
Penn State School of Music
Penn State’s music technology program, Research of the Arts, Recording, and Sound (ROARS), is a community-oriented, cooperative, and care-focused path to forge music careers that meet today’s creative and technical challenges.
The ROARS recording studios provide first-rate recording and mixing facilities to conduct studio recording sessions, record live concerts, curate concerts, and more. ROARS is also connected to the Gender and Voice Inquiry Lab at Penn State's School of Music, providing an avenue for scientific and creative discovery about the human voice in speech and song. At ROARS we refine the skills that you probably associate with music technology as well as some that you may not yet, including:
- Audio engineering
- Live sound reinforcement
- Music software programming
- Music hardware design
- Research of the physics and social science of music
- Music information retrieval and Computer-Assisted Music (including AI)
- Science of gender and voice
- Music creation and performance in the genres and traditions closest to your heart
