Overview

Key Features

Technology is an essential part of our relationship with sound. Recording studios, theaters, social media platforms, film and television production, stadiums, and game studios rely on the expertise of sound engineers to function. Contemporary compositions for popular artists, film, and orchestras are facilitated by the expanded capabilities of the latest musical interfaces.

A degree in Music and Sound Recording from University of New Haven focuses on the craft and art of working with sound. Our professors are former and current engineers, producers, and composers with professional expertise that informs our curriculum. In combination with courses from the Tagliatela College of Engineering, students receive foundational skills in the generation and manipulation of sound and apply those skills in various ways.

We believe that these competencies are best applied with an understanding of how music and sound function in the world. You will have opportunities to enhance your development with courses on the theory and history of music. Our instructors also serve as academic and career advisers, assisting students as they navigate four years of college and prepare for industry opportunities.

Learn by Doing

Music & Sound Recording courses are held in our recording studios and music technology lab. Classes are capped at 16 students and feature cutting-edge learning environments, where instruction occurs as students engage with technology and make aesthetic decisions. Whether it's using the appropriate microphone or preamp, experimenting with synthesizers, or producing beats, students learn industry standards and develop their expressive voice.
