After eleven years, John Boylan has taken an extended administrative leave from teaching his popular course at UCLA. The course, Record Production I, Designation X 448.6 will be taught by another instructor. The class includes a field trip to a working recording studio, special industry guests, and lots of audio-visual presentations. Record Production I is a required course for the Certificate in Recording Arts & Sciences.  Their Web Site: http://www.unex.ucla.edu

As of the fall of 2008, John has been teaching a Master Class in Songwriting (MUS 162) at Citrus College in Glendora, CA. That class will be taught again in 2011, and will be augmented by two other music industry-related classes: REC 145 - Critical Listening for Sound Engineers, and REC 245 - Careers for Sound Engineers in the Music Industry.
