Music majors at Baldwin-Wallace are fortunate in that very sophisticated hardware and software aspects of music technology are available to them . Listed below are some of the technology items you will be using on a regular basis.

EMAIL: All B-W students have the ability to use the college email programs. You should check with the Computer Center to secure an email addre ss and password. It is hoped that you will get in the habit of contacting me through email whenever you are requested to do so as part of class work or when you find it impossible to contact me personally. My email address is lhartzel@bw.edu

WWW: Over the past four years the World Wide Web has become a significant component of the educational environment of most colleges and universities. I have begun to make $ of my classes. It is my assumption that you will begin to use the Web page(s) created for your class(es) on a regular basis. It will be through these pages that I will communicate important information to you during the semester. Such use of the Web should make class ti me more efficient. Click hereto go to my Current Courses Web Page. The following is an excellent history of the Internet (of which the Web is a part). If you are interested in learning more about the Internet this is a good p lace to start.

MMCL: The Midi-Multimedia Computer Lab is located in the basement of Merner-Pfeiffer Hall. It is the result of a $300,000 grant from the Kulas Foundation and provides B-W music students an extremely sophisticated MIDI-related computer lab. Beginning with fall semester 1999-2000 all students in Harmony classes will be required to use the lab on a regular basis to complete written homework assignments. In addition to the 12 workstations located in the lab there are four other stations found in Jones Music Library that are connected to MMCL's laser printer. These stations also have the same basic software as that found on the MMCL computers. Click here for more information on MMCL.

BWDEMS: The Baldwin-Wallace Digital Electronic Music Studio is located in the basement of Kulas Hall. The Studio is used by students who take "Introduction to Elec tronic Music" and those who are doing advanced work in Electronic Music. This studio can produce professional level electronic music projects, record them to analog or digital formats and (if desired) burn them to CD. The lab is also used by stude nts in B-W's Broadcasting major and, in conjunction with the Faculty Multi-Media Lab, BWDEMS is used to create various types of multi-media and Internet-based projects.
