PITTSFIELD, Mass. - Berkshire Community College is in the process of installing a new state-of-the-art Midi Lab that will enhance instruction in various music courses taught at the college.
Located in Koussevitzky Hall, Room K-202, the new lab will feature a 12-station workspace. Yamaha P-85 electronic pianos will be connected to 12 desktop computers integrated into a local network controlled by a single instructor’s console.
Software applications that will be available for study and use include (1) Practica Musica, a music theory & sight singing/ear training application; (2) Finale, the world’s leading music notation software; and (3) Sonar 8 Producer, an industry standard music recording software that is used by recording studios throughout the world..
The midi lab, made possible through the support of the BCC Foundation, will be ready for use during the Fall 2009 semester for all relevant music courses. The lab will be available to both music and non-music majors. A new course in Sonar will be offered beginning in the Spring 2010 semester.
