I am happy to answer questions related to music study abroad. The music production major is one of the most popular majors for studying abroad in music in recent years. Most students have chosen the United States and the United Kingdom as their study abroad destinations. The reasons are as follows:

Demand creates value, and British and American music production has a greater market!

First of all, putting aside the factors of institutions, we need to know that whether many majors are excellent in a country is actually closely related to the market demand of that country. Just like American film and television have great reputations around the world. The same unrivaled status is due to the overall high development of the American film and television industry, and the demand for corresponding talents is much higher than that of other countries.

Similarly, the music industry, especially the film and television entertainment sound, recording mixing, post-processing, sound design, etc. involved in music production, is also dominated by the United Kingdom and the United States. Especially in the United States, there are many industries that require graduates majoring in music production to meet their needs in the film, television, game advertising and entertainment industries. In addition, the UK, the most popular country in jazz and film and television special effects, also relies heavily on music production talents.

The market generates demand, and demand promotes high-end and sophisticated products!

Now that there is market demand, the enthusiasm of British and American universities to cultivate music production talents will naturally increase greatly, and it will also bring another positive effect, that is, the improvement of technology! The undeniable fact is that the UK and the US have always been leaders in original music production, recording mixing and mastering, midi signal processing, electronic music production, sound effects design and other related fields. This is why many well-known musicians choose to record their works in the UK and the US. . You may also know that another country that you often visit is Japan, so Japan is also famous for its teaching in music production. It is also ranked third on the AAE recommendation list.

Back to the topic, from the perspective of international students and parents, since you choose to study abroad, you naturally want to learn the best technology and the best theoretical knowledge. Therefore, there is no doubt that the most suitable places for music production are the United States and the United Kingdom. Their technological leadership, coupled with the provision of courses with many years of experience, will definitely bring more reasonable and high-quality teaching to students. The improvement in hard power is also the highest.

Returning to the original intention still depends on the issue of recognition!

As we said at the beginning of the article, the impression given by old music powerhouses such as Germany and Italy is that their conservatories are very good, but a contradictory truth is that the old comprehensive schools in the United Kingdom and the United States have a more resounding reputation. head! You can try blurting out what are the best schools in the world without looking up information? I believe most people would say Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, etc. There is no doubt that British and American schools are in a crushing position in terms of popularity and recognition, and it is precisely the relatively strong courses in music production that mostly appear in this comprehensive category. in the university!

New York University, University of Southern California, and Johns Hopkins in the United States, and Edinburgh, York, and Bristol in the United Kingdom. Although these are not the top universities in the world, they are still among the first-class universities. . Even if we don’t talk about comprehensive universities but look at independent music schools, among the schools that offer relevant courses, the Berklee College of Music in the United States has a high reputation in popular music, and the Eastman School of Music and the Cleveland Institute of Music are also well-known. , the British RCM (Little Emperor) is also one of the best music schools in the world! Therefore, an in-depth analysis from the perspective of popularity shows that British and American universities are more recognized in people's minds.
