 Welcome to the Delta Music Institute! I am excited about the opportunities ahead for the innovative music industry studies program at the DMI.
The DMI is an independent center under the College of Arts & Sciences at Delta State University. The DMI offers the Bachelor of Science in Music Industry Studies Degree, a concentration of music and entertainment industry courses leading to the Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies degree, and a concentration of Sound Recording Technology (SRT) courses within the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree.
The DMI Recording Studios opened in the Spring of 2009. Studio A, which features a Neve V3 analog console, was designed to accommodate large scale recording such as symphony orchestras, wind ensembles, and mass choirs. Studio B features a DigiDesign ICON and Pro Tools system to accommodate multiple types of recording and is structured to mix in surround sound. Studio C serves as a small project studio, and the audio transfer room provides opportunity to digitize older forms of media. In addition, the Delta Music Institute is home to the DMI Mobile Music Lab, a mobile music technology facility serving upper elementary through high school students in the Mississippi Delta.
Our instructors are veterans of the music business who continue to be active in their respective areas. They have over 60 years combined experience in audio engineering, songwriting, production, publishing, performance, and the business of music.
An exciting new chapter is on the horizon for DMI with plans underway to have GRAMMY Museum Mississippi, the first sanctioned GRAMMY Museum outside of Los Angeles, built on the campus of Delta State University.
The DMI encourages students to think “outside the box” in an entrepreneurial way as they plan for their future after graduation. I invite you to take time to browse our website for an overview of our degree program, our faculty, and of facilities. If you would like to schedule a tour of the DMI, we would be glad to show you around. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our offices at (662) 846-4579 or dmi@deltastate.edu.
