In Their Words

The best part about being an AMP major at LVC is the freedom to use the school’s studios and equipment outside of class time. Being able to take what we learn in class and put it into practice immediately has enhanced my education tenfold.

LVC introduced me to the key concepts and building blocks I use as an engineer. Courses such as music theory and aural theory may not pertain specifically to recording, but they helped me become more musically literate, which can be a major advantage in my field.

Our graduates are successful and highly regarded because we help them develop a wide range of in-demand skills. I can say this with certainty because employers ask me to send our graduates their way.
