WE've got a pretty big country here, what city are you moving to?

Mcgill University in Montreal has the Tonmeister program but you have to know music, not just knobs.

Then you have the Trebas institute and other such schools who have programs in every facet of the indusrty.

I've made trebas, and graduated, and wouldn't recommend it, really...

Pretty basic music skill can be learned there, but emphasis is put on marketing and all the business part of the music industry.

Not necessarily what you would want...

McGill is another story alltogheter, it's da real stuff.

Ah yes! I remember the good old days at Trebas

Especially the parts falling off from your car back then!

Seriously, there's also Musitechnique (on Berri near St-Cat.) to be considered. I haven't heard anything about them lately but it used to be the best school in the area for that kind of program.

I second that !

You can learn electronic music by yourself anyways. There are no hard and fast rules to electronic music, just what your ears and heart dictate. Schools will only make you better at production not composing.

I agree with RedSun, Musitechnique is probably the school for you if electronic music is your bag. Expensive as hell though, $16,000 CDN for a year's training. Great installations with even a 7 channel room for movie soundtrack productions.

the term you want to start using is "electroacoustic music". There's a huge experimental music/theater/video/art in general scene in Canada I've heard. Just forgot in which city. A school would be a great place to meet the people and to get involved with the scene. I'll ask my professor about this.

Mcgill is definitely a great place, you might want to check if they have a electroacoustic specific program.
