How would that curriculum support your interests?

2. Portfolio Requirements

Every Performing Arts Technology degree requires the submission of a portfolio by December 1, and subsequent interview with the Performing Arts Technology faculty. After a preliminary review of portfolios, a select number of applicants will be invited for on-campus interviews.

All Performing Arts Technology programs

Please upload the following four items. For each portfolio item, please provide a paragraph that briefly describes the equipment and techniques used, your motivation for the work, and the file name of the corresponding media. All sound files must be uncompressed stereo audio 16-bit resolution with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz (CD quality)

1. a recording of you performing on a traditional acoustic instrument or voice, preferably with other instruments;

2. an arrangement of any fugue movement by J. S. Bach orchestrated for electronic instruments; Note: for the fugue, we encourage you to use any combination of synthesized digital sounds, MIDI-triggered samples, noise, found sound, sound effects, audio processing and plugins, layering, editing, or any other resources commonly found in audio and music software. You are welcome to use an existing MIDI file/score as your starting point. There is no "correct" way to complete this portfolio item. Experiment and have fun with it.

3. & 4. Pick two additional items from the following list:

· One example of an original composition (two to five minutes long) for electronic instruments and digital sounds; Note: an electronic composition does not require a notated score. Some sounds (for example: sound effects filter sweeps, noise) may be impossible to notate in a musical score.

· A recording of an original composition (two to five minutes long) for one or more acoustic instruments and/or voices accompanied by a notated score; Note: an acoustic composition recording can be a MIDI mockup created with software instruments. You are welcome to fulfill the performance requirement by performing on your composition.

· Two stereo recordings that you have engineered that represent contrasting musical styles;

Note: the recordings should be produced primarily from microphone signals. Original compositions are encouraged but not required. These two stereo recordings count as one item. You are welcome to fulfill the performance requirement by performing on your recordings.

· an original video (up to five minutes in length) - such as a music video, live concert, animation, short film, video installation;

· visual art such as photography, painting, digital art, or drawing;

· original sound design, composition, or recording for visual media;

· documentation (video, audio, and/or still images) of a performance with electronic music hardware or an interactive system of your own design;

We require at least a 3.5 GPA in high school academic courses, and either an SAT math sub score of 630 or better, or an ACT math sub score of 28 or better. It is also important that students have:

· extensive coursework in mathematics, preferably through at least pre-calculus

· experience with music theory and ear training

· high level proficiency on an acoustic instrument

안녕하세요. 어머님이 통화를 하셨다는 말씀에 연락을 드립니다. 저는 작곡전공으로 미국음대에 진학하려는 학생입니다. 현재 미국에 온지 6년째가 되고 New Jersey 고등학교에 재학하며, 올해 12학년이 됩니다. 작곡과 이와 관련된 technology쪽도 함께 공부하고 싶은데요. University of Michigan, NYU Steinhardt, Carnegie Mellon, 그리고 Northwestern 대학의 해당 학과에 관심이 있습니다. 위에 말씀드린 학교에 어떤 전공으로 가는 것이 제가 원하는 공부를 하기에 적합할까요? 또 입학조건이 어떠하며 어느 정도의 수준이 되어야 입학이 가능한지 궁금합니다. 5월 방학이 되면 한국에 가서 의논 드리겠지만, 그 동안 대강 개요라도 알고 싶어서요. 정보 주시면 감사하겠습니다.
