MUSIC PRODUCTION

The Music Production program is designed to prepare audio engineers and producers for vocational readiness from a Christian perspective. The program is designed to introduce the student to the tools and techniques used to produce music in the modern recording studio, while nurturing the student’s passion to serve the church or industry with Christian character. The student will gain an in-depth knowledge of current technology, recording techniques and music production skills. Music Production students will be responsible for engineering all student recordings and handling live sound at any events for Visible Music College. Skills and knowledge acquired in the program equip students to work as producers, engineers, or to create a new studio business, and focuses on using industry-standard programs (Logic and ProTools).

Upon graduation, the student will:

• Be able to find gainful employment in studios, live sound venues, post-production facilities, production companies, broadcast media, or entrepreneurial endeavors;
• Be able to oversee and execute studio and live sound responsibilities with competence, professionalism, and humility;
• Have a thorough understanding of how the mechanics of sound apply to modern recording techniques and live sound reinforcement.

### SPIRITUAL | PROFESSIONAL | ACADEMIC.

Visible Music College is at the intersection of spiritual, professional and academic. Our three bachelor degree programs offer a rigorous education in the music business, music production, and music performance, equipping our students for effective service in the music industry and the Church. We believe that Christian musicians, producers, managers and industry professionals must be well developed equally in these three areas to find success in life, career, and ministry. Our intentionally small artist communities are focused on balanced spiritual, professional and academic growth.

GLOBAL

Unique in Higher Education Launched in Memphis, Tennessee in 2000, the vision of Visible Music College is unique in higher education. The focus is on creating small, intentional artist communities throughout the world that emphasizes growth in three key areas: spiritual, professional and academic. Visible expanded to Chicagoland in 2014 and Dallas in 2015 as part of the president and founder Ken Steorts’ 2020×2020 vision – 20 sites in 20 cities serving 2,020 students by 2020. From Sarah Simmons (NBC’s The Voice) to indie darlings Carolina Story, Visible alumni are on the charts, in the studio and making an impact in the church.

Academic Overview

Visible Music College is an integrated training experience that challenges students to grow spiritually, professionally, and academically during an accredited bachelor degree program. Each degree program includes a core of Bible, Theology, and Ministry courses. The integrity of the student’s spirituality is foundational to professional development, as Scripture informs how to relate to the Creator and His creation–particularly how one ought to respond to the Creator’s invitation to thoughtful, creative, and prayerful engagement in the music industry and the Church. Both the spiritual and professional development is emphasized through the rigorous college-level curriculum. Philosophically, the “why” (spirituality) precedes the “what” (profession) and the “how” (academics) . All three growth areas are represented in the college’s name: Visible Music College

• Spiritual
• Professional
• Academic

The integrated training is experienced through immersion and investment.
