Music School Vs Audio School

Audio Engineering and Music Production courses often attract a lot of Musicians, Singer-Songwriters, Bedroom Producers, etc. people who have dabbled in the field of sound but want to take it to the next level. The biggest misconception that there can ever be is the fact that getting a “Degree” or “Certification” as an Audio Engineer or  Music Producer can legitimize your career. However in the field of audio, having a degree doesn’t matter as much as having a solid portfolio of work under your belt to showcase to potential employers. I say this, being an employer as well. Ensuring a stable career in the field of sound does not depend on having a degree at the end of your course.

Most Musicians come to the Audio Engineering course thinking that getting a Degree as an Audio Engineer will help with future career prospects without first realizing that Audio Engineering and Music production are skill sets that are very different from a skillset expected of a musician.
If you want to learn Music in a structured fashion and if your goal is to become a full time performing musician, your goal should be to go to a Music School as opposed to an “Engineering Course”
