Make Life-Changing Sound Connections

Schoolcraft students make excellent and sometimes life-changing connections with other students and professionals while in the Sound Recording Technology program. Students form bands together, start businesses, collaborate on projects and meet current professionals in the business. 

Students are also encouraged to join the Audio Engineering Society (www.aes.org) and take part in the SRT Club.

The SRT Club is a student run, faculty-facilitated club created last winter semester by SRT students. The students decide content and topics they would like to explore, such as guest speakers, studio tours, special audio topics and more.
