“In the winter of my sophomore year I tried out a course called Music Production. By the end, my class and I were producing our own songs without instruction and sharing back our sounds in supportive jam sessions at the end of class. This cool experience prompted me to continue music production classes throughout my years.”Erica DowdRecent Graduate
