“Certification is a designation that industry professionals seek when looking for future interns and employees, and gives UAB students an advantage out the door. “It is impossible to hear a major recording or see a Hollywood movie where AVID Pro Tools is not used in the recording and editing of everything from the dialogue and sound effects to the movie soundtrack,” Panion said. These students join an elite group of UAB music technology majors to achieve this prestigious industry certification in the three years since UAB has been part of the ALP program. The AVID-certified students are seniors Jevon Coleman of Mobile, Jay Freeman of Moody, David Smith of Pelham, Zach Walker of Madison and Seth Cain of Homewood junior Drew Romanoski of Helena and Tommy Bowen of Birmingham and Julie Mari of Corner, who graduated from UAB this spring. The certification exam is administered by AVID. Students prepare for the AVID Pro Tools certification exam through the curriculum offered in the music technology program, including the courses Computer Music I-III, Recording Technology I and II, and Multimedia Production, as well as the Computer Music Ensemble. Panion is co-director of the music technology program with Associate Professor Scott Phillips, Ph.D. While many students successfully complete the music technology program in the UAB College of Arts and Sciences Department of Music, only a select few also complete the AVID certification training, and even fewer attain certification, says University Professor Henry Panion III, Ph.D. Behind them are Henry Panion, Tommy Bowen, David Smith, Zach Walker, Seth Cain and Julie Mari.Įight music technology students at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have successfully passed the AVID Pro Tools certification exam.
