THEATER ARTS
The Minor in Theater Arts is designed to give students the opportunity to engage in advanced study of Theater Arts and to experiment broadly in the making of theater. The flexibility of the minor allows students either to explore several theatrical disciplines such as playwriting, acting, directing, or design or to concentrate more deeply in one.

Composition and Theory
The composition curriculum helps student composers develop their skills regardless of prior experience. Students can receive compositional training and performances in a wide variety of genres, from the avant-garde to classical tonality, from jazz arranging to electronic music. Advanced students participate in a composition seminar, which includes opportunities for readings (informal performances) by professional ensembles and the MIT Symphony Orchestra. Composition is also an integral part of many other music subjects, from Jazz Composition and Computer Music to the Harmony / Counterpoint sequence, where students compose original pieces in various period styles.

Music Technology
MTA offers a small but highly regarded set of classes in music technology for students wishing to connect their engineering side with their musical side. Introductory topics include recording techniques, mixing and mastering in digital audio workstations, and sound design. Our more advanced classes require a command of music theory and computer programming. Interactive Music Systems blends audio synthesis, real-time graphics, and interaction design. Fundamentals of Music Processing explores the algorithmic analysis of digital audio, such as beat-tracking, chord-recognition, and music fingerprinting. All music technology courses are project-based and include end-of-term public presentations (open houses and/or performances).
