What are you going to do after high school? Did you ever think you could turn your passion for sound or video into a career? At River Valley Technical Center, we’ll show you how. Our Audio and Video Engineering program will teach you to use state-of-the-art equipment to create audio and productions for radio, television, and film.

If you’re a performer — singer or musician — Audio Engineering is a great way to learn what goes into making a recording. Find your way around a recording studio and cut your own demo … and you’ll be way ahead of anyone who just dreams of being a superstar.

In Audio and Video Production classes, you’ll participate in one hour of synchronous activities, in person or online, for the first block of the day. You’ll have another hour of daily online work to be done independently.
