Delta Music Institute

The Delta Music Institute (DMI) houses two world class recording facilities on the same par as the famed Abbey Road studios in London. Studio A (See pic below), the larger of the two recording spaces, features a Neve V3 large format console and will be able to record an orchestra or choir with as many as 100 musicians. Studio B features a Digi ICON console and is a more contemporary space, able to record smaller ensembles of various styles and genres. The DMI studios will also contain a small project studio in addition to housing a state of the art, 15 station digital audio computer lab, featuring Mac G5 computers with audio interfaces, where students will learn to create, edit, and mix audio in the digital realm.  More information on DMI.

“Classes at the DMI will remind our students of the rich musical heritage of the Mississippi Delta. Our graduates will be encouraged to take bits and pieces of that history, combine it with their own personal talents, and hopefully, create the next great chapter of Mississippi music.” – Tricia Walker, Executive Director
