Music Students Create Original Music for Mako Media Network

Music students in the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts recently created original music for Mako Media Network, including introductions and transitions for Mako TV and Mako Radio. Songs featured on Mako TV included music for four different segments: the news intro, Sports Update, Sharks on the Street and Health Update. The music created for Mako Radio will be incorporated into future podcasts.

“This whole experience was a really great opportunity for my students, not just to have a chance to do something creative and original, but also because they had to work on a deadline,” said Bill Withem, the assistant professor of music. “Plus, their music had to satisfy Mako Media Network, which was basically our real-world client throughout the process.”
