Hi, i'm a student in Lasalle SIA studying in Music Tech.
First year is foundation year so u will learn abt music theory which is important for u to do MIDI stuffs. As u advance ahead,u get to learn different softwares, do recording, composing different styles of music n many more. There r many assigments for u to do. Yes, u get many chance to collaborate with the Dance, media arts students to help them compose, record.
I think it's hard to compare which school is better cuz it's all abt the same thing that they r teaching.
The good thing in lasalle is tat they really spend a bomb on equipments, we juz got a Pro Tools TDM Control 24 for recording n mixing. They do have many syns n jamming studios.
If u like playing, u can join Dip in Contemporary Music. U get to perform every week n u also have a individual teacher to teach u on ur instruments.
Everywhere is the same, all depends on u.
