Learning, Independence, People, and Audio
My family and I spent Thursday going around Vancouver checking on audio schools for my son. He graduates from ISB in a year and plans to be a rock star but he’s thinking about picking up some audio engineering skills along the way. We stopped in at three schools–Nimbus, Pacific Audio Visual Institute, and Columbia Academy. Each school had strengths but some common themes that emerged from all of them were:
- The technology is secondary. One has to have an ear for music/audio.
- The technology is always changing. One has to always be learning.
- People skills are as important as technical skills–maybe more so.
- One has to be entrepreneurial. There’s no job security.
