Trinity Introduces a New Music Production Major

The departments of music and communication arts are introducing a new major in Music Production beginning in fall 2015.

The major will provide targeted study through coursework in media studies, a senior capstone project, and an internship.

Dr. Mark Peters, professor of music, has noticed a growing need in recent years for a major that connects music and communication arts.

“We’re excited about the way this interdisciplinary program provides students with a strong foundation in both majors while intentionally connecting those fields to each other and to the broader framework of a Christian liberal arts education,” Peters said.

Students will be equipped to serve with excellence in a variety of contexts such as music studios, post-production studios, sound design studios, production houses, concert arenas, radio and television stations, audio/visual departments, and record labels.

Music education major Anna DeBlecourt ’17 of Mokena, Illinois said her experience with the music program has been rewarding and that this new major will be a great asset to Trinity.

“I find that the faculty is not only exceptionally musically gifted, they are also commendable educators,” she said. “Both inside and outside the classroom, their encouragement and mentorship have allowed me to grow not only in my musical abilities but also as a well-rounded student and Christ follower.”
