MIDI / Music Technology Lab

Student working in MIDI/Music Technology Lab

The SFA School of Music MIDI/Music Technology Lab is where music students learn current music technology skills that they will need as future music teachers or performers in the 21th century. The goal of the Music Technology program is to prepare future music students to be knowledgeable and proficient in Music Technology. In the future most if, not all, music careers will contain some use of music technology. It is then vital for future music educators and professionals to have knowledge of music technology.

The lab has 13 music technology stations, all stations contain a Macintosh computer. Ten stations are MIDI stations connected to various MIDI equipment like synthesizers, samplers and various MIDI controllers. The other three stations are connected to the internet so music students can use the Web for music research.

The MIDI/Music Technology Lab has many different types of music-related software for music students to use. The music software includes: music notation, sequencing, aural skills, theory, CAI, digital audio, marching band design as well as other music related software.

The MIDI/Music Technology Lab is open to all music majors, music minors and other SFA students enrolled in a music course. The lab is open over 40 hours a week, which includes hours at night and on the weekend.

The MIDI/Music Technology Lab is maintained by Herbert Midgley, the Music Technology Coordinator, and student workers. Each hour that the lab is open, there is a worker who can assist music students will with the use of music technology.
