Music is a universal language.

Music means something different to everyone — but to some, it means everything. Here, aspiring composers will evolve beyond writing; they’ll diversify their talents and learn how to become indispensable.

Great audio engineer schools will not only train students’ ears; they’ll incorporate (and learn the science behind) industry-standard recording equipment. Students who are interested in the production of live events will do more than study the elements of a great performance; they’ll build those skills in live venues, with real audiences and real performers. Full Sail goes beyond your average music degree to bring you real-world, hands-on experience with industry equipment.
