The Mix Foundation for Excellence in Audio announced the recipients of its 2007 TEC Awards Scholarship Grants.
Carson Ritz is in his third year studying Audio Production at Webster University in St. Louis. His first foray into the audio world began as a kindergartener, when he recorded raps into a 2-track recorder, and he hasn't stopped since! With a GPA of 3.89, Ritz has excelled at his studies while completing a large-scale recording/producing project for a local St. Louis artist, handling the audio responsibilities for a local video company and other extracurricular activities. His dream? To become a successful music producer, but as long as he can work in audio for the rest of his life he'll be satisfied.
Golda McCormack is a student in the Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music in the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. She is pursuing her degree in Recorded Music with an emphasis on audio engineering and music production. When McCormack isn't working on studio projects, she keeps herself busy as the co-president of the new Clive Davis Department student-run record label, 194 Recordings. Her long-term goal is to be able to work with musicians who are interested in making a difference by creating music that will educate and inspire people throughout the world.
Applications for the 2008 TEC Awards Scholarship Grant are currently being accepted. The scholarship grant(s) is offered to students currently enrolled in audio education programs. For more information, go to mixfoundation.org/hearing.html or call Karen Dunn at 925/939-6149.
