MUSIC TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING COLLECTIVE

This is a co-curricular program that exists within all the music classes at TERRA. Participation in the learning activities is voluntary and students will progress at their own pace. The MTEC is structured as an apprenticeship where participants will be promoted by demonstrating skill mastery. Once promoted, students will teach these skills to their peers in the prior level.

 

The only requirement for participation in this program is that the student MUST be enrolled in a music class at TERRA. There is no exception for this requirement.
