Music Technology encourages interaction between musical creation, technology and research. The pedagogical goal of the Music Technology program is to provide students with an environment where advanced scientific research is applied to music and music making. Training includes courses in Digital Signal Processing, Computer Science, Music Information Retreival, Human-Computer Interaction, Music Perception and Cognition, and Acoustics. Research goals of the program include the study and development of new and flexible strategies for sound analysis, processing, synthesis and control, melodic pattern recognition, auditory display, symbolic manipulation of formal music representations, as well as the psychoacoustics of musical sounds and structures. This training prepares students for a wide range of employment opportunities in the music technology and media industries, as well as positions in academic research.
