Digital Music Production Digital Music Production certificate program (Full-Time) The Digital Music Production Certificate Program trains producers on a number of levels, from individuals who will be writing, recording, and producing their own work, other artists’ works, and composing for commercial purposes. The ongoing development of recording and producing software like Cubase allows producers to work outside the studio environment. Often producers use commercial studios to finalize the mix; the other instruments, vocals, effects, and mixing, are added outside the commercial studio. Students in this program will be using either a Mac or PC laptop, an audio interface, and the following software (all of which they keep): Cubase, Ableton Live, Reason, Native Instruments Komplete, Miroslav Philharmonik, Pro Tools, and a mixing package. The students will register the computer and software in their own names. While students will produce the majority of their work on their own computer, they will also be working in some of Vancouver’s top commercial recording studios. Entry into this one-year program is based on an interview. Students will receive extensive oneon-one instruction and consultation. All instructors are professional musicians and producers from the music industry, chosen for their extensive technical knowledge and industry recognized expertise. A list of courses can be found at www.langara.bc.ca/dmp

When the majority of the panel agree that the portfolio is commercially viable the student will receive certification. We recommend the student should plan on six terms to complete the program before applying for a certificate.

Lifetime Alumni Benefits Once a student finishes the 18 required courses for certification, they receive Lifetime Alumni Status. This means that students may retake any course within the Commercial Illustration Program for free, for the rest of their lives, if they wish to reinforce their skills. On top of this, graduates from the Commercial Illustration Program may take any course up to full certification in either the Photography Certificate Program or the Communication Arts Program (graphic design and advertising art direction) at a 50% discount. Graduates from the Commercial Illustration Program may also take any course in the Digital Media Program for free (production software courses including the Adobe Creative Suite) so that students can upgrade their skills as new versions of software emerge.

STEP workshops are led by guest speakers and include designing and applying henna tattoos, hand drumming using African percussion instruments, and creating aromatherapy inhalers using healing essential oils. STEP outings include exploring marine life at the Vancouver Aquarium Wet Lab, solving a crime using forensic evidence at the Vancouver Police Museum, and rock climbing at Cliffhanger Vancouver. During these activities, students interact with native English speakers and explore aspects of Canadian culture.

ESL +2 +2 Langara’s ESL programs use an integrated approach to language learning. Rather than teach skills in isolation, we take a more holistic approach. We combine the language skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and focus on a variety of relevant and interesting topics. Using a content-based curriculum, we engage students in activities that require the use of a variety of skills and strategies to encourage authentic communication. This creates a dynamic, student-centred learning environment in which students acquire language in a natural and meaningful way. Gradually, students learn to approach classroom content the same way as Canadian students whose first language is English. Langara offers two ESL programs that focus on moving students into university in the shortest possible time: Skills Training for English Proficiency (STEP) and Langara English for Academic Purposes (LEAP).

Speaking LEAP STEP = Skills Training for English Proficiency

My LEAP Experience! In the LEAP Program, I was constantly being challenged. The LEAP Program not only improved my English, but also taught the importance of critical thinking and the knowledge that is necessary to practice it. Completing this program gave me a sense of confidence that I needed as a young international student.

My ACADEMIC Courses! After graduating from LEAP in 2008, I studied in the University Transfer program at Langara. I then transferred to York University where I’m now doing a double major in Human Rights and Equity Studies and Political Science. I am now taking a year-off from school and starting an internship program at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Tokyo. I am very excited and looking forward to what this will lead to in the future.
