Curriculum

The course is divided into three semesters, during which students are assessed using closed-book examinations, practical examinations, and media-creation assignments. Professional instructors deliver lectures, while recent graduates oversee studio use and assist with the completion of assignments.

In the first semester, OIART offers introductory classes for music production, pro tools, computers, acoustics, sound for film productions, and sound for live music concerts. Students are expected to behave as working studio technicians while using OIART equipment.

In the second semester, students work in groups to operate OIART's studios and complete a single for a local songwriter, often sourced from the Poacher's Scene: which is sustained by the large amount of student musicians in London, Ontario for the Don Wright Faculty of Music.

In the third semester, students choose to complete a focused project in music production, live sound, or audio for visual media with the assistance of an instructor. The music production assignment requires the completion of two more songs, and the live sound assignment might be volunteering at Sunfest (London, Ontario).
