college for trance music career??

I'm living in WA state in USA,
now that I'm ready to move out
I want to go to state where there is college for trance music or electric music.
Anyone know good college for that as major in USA?

I want to be trance music producer in future,
if you can tell me how I can be that... that will be great too.
I'm really new

Then you must pass under the great arch. There are many wing�d wyverans and the diaspora will begin to set in right about here. Soon, the agoraphobia. Suddenly, scintillating lights will surround you as though you'd stumbled upon a bed of will o' wisps. A scathing energy will settle at your feet and trail up the whole of your spine, every capillary seething with bitter angst. A loud crash, a thunderous boom, a satiating resonance that reverberates in your sternum. The rising of a majestic whooshing sound that remains stoic for about a half an hour. You wander lost, amongst the throng of sweaty myrmidons. Each one with minute discs that all of them ingest readily. The substance contained within appears to make them more apt to the innocuous rhythm that infests every pore and synapse. You're getting closer now, you can feel it, everyone can, there's a heaven underneath it all. You're offered one of these discs, two of these discs, four of them, you take them all at once. Well, three of them, the other is suggested to be placed inside your undercarriage, you think it peculiar, but are merely an apprentice and novice of this shamanic medicine and therefor wilt to the notion and happily allow someone to place it there. With force. Tracers begin to form on everything. Lights last forever in one place, or do they? Each thought interlaced with the other. The entire speech from Human Traffic applies. A cold sweat emanates from your chest. Uneasy, and decidedly unsettled, you lie down with a group who appears to have succumb to a similar affliction. Each one of them babbling something inane as the fairy symphony does way, smiting each idea of good music with the eternal harp of disarray. These people begin to disrobe you. They begin to rub you down with a gelatin substance and hand you a cylindrical object they tell you to inhale deeply from. And you do this. Willingly. You're in the stars now, each galaxy a penny on this never ending golden sidewalk. The penetrating fingers can barely be felt, temples surging forth with frothy disposition. Leaning inward and outward of a predetermined reality, once a bunker now a saucer now a cottage now a field, now a sub-field. Shifting in and out, you find yourself alone, a nomad in a sea of the hedonists. Only now their eyes glare at you and only you, expectantly unexpected. The dancers descend from the ceiling, he drops his remix of Delerium's 'Silence'. It's as though the seraphs were falling, as though they'd forgotten how to fly in the face of true perfection. The hi-hats being slaughtered effortlessly by the vocals meshing involuntarily with your body's tepid and partial half-stepping. The drool forms upon the tip of your chin. Then you notice the blood. There's not a little bit, but a lot. It's all over you. You're drenched in blood. You notice hairs on your body that aren't yours, first on your forearm, then all over. You begin to realize, as the affliction is wearing off, that you are also entirely nude. And that they're after you. Three hours later you find yourself in an off-white room with off-white chairs and an entirely off-white demeanor. Sterile and cold. You're incarcerated. Rape they say. She was only 17. Magik Muzik.

Uni of MD has a "Music Production" degree plan. One of the classes is in the description "making songs in the electronic genre". May be worth checking out but if this is what you want to do then you need to maybe expand that into sound engineering as a possible carrer choice. BUT......

Going to college to learn how to produce is a very wrong and bad road to get on. Your learning how to sound like your teacher. It stifles you making your own sound because your going to use the tricks of your teacher to do it.

Haha fucking hell.

I'm not sure if there are classes that are dedicated on making only trance. Because most places that offer music production expect you to be producing for a band or group, and from what I know if you go into music production as a major, they frown upon electronic music. I'd recommend going audio engineering major if you want to produce EDM.

My advice: learn music before you learn "production." Learn to play an instrument.

A strong traditional base will help you in composing any kind of music, including non-electronic stuff if you ever want to try that, and it will still be just as relevant even when most of the technologies you learned getting a "production" degree have become outdated in ten or fifteen years.

come on homie. you learn about producing trance from the streets, it's not a government thing.

This.

Also like with any creative industry, be yourself... Going to college/uni teaches you the same as what everyone else is learning. The people who get the most out of it are the people who expand and say 'Now I know the rules, Fuk em, I'm doing it my way'

Its half the reason why there is so much shit EDM these days, people being less creative, copy catting and following the same path as the others.

Clark Atlanta University has pretty stellar collegiate trancepuddle.

Just remember, should you decide to visit Clark Atlanta, be sure to arrive wearing your most glittery Anjuna shirt and making the best attempt at that face that one trollop from Above & Beyond makes, you know, the one with the glasses who instead of a chin has an overbite. Then remember to ask where the nearest bathrom is. To everyone.

This is when they will show you to the plurchamber.

More seriously if you want to succeed like Tiesto or AvB, just learn marketing and hire a producer that will make you bankable tracks.

so something like this then?

jesus christ why would you waste money on a TRANCE COLLEGE?

there is NO such thing as that anyway, thank god. if you want, go to SAE and get an electronic producer certificate. better yet, if you want to know more and get better chances to even internship at a studio, get a recording engineer certificate/diploma

there is nothing special about trance that you won't learn by just learning a program. it's all about ideas, every style of music is about ideas. all you need is knowledge.

and 2nd, i'd recommend a few years of independent learning before you spend money on doing something you might not be passionate about
