We asked current and incoming students what they love or are excited for about studying music at Ball State. Here's what they said:
"Film scoring opportunities!"

Since 2023, Associate Professor Dr. Scott Routenberg has taught Commercial Music Design courses in our Music Media Production program. MMP 304 is an advanced course in film, television, and game music writing. In this course, students learn about Hollywood orchestration, music notation using Dorico, creating mockups in Logic Pro with Vienna Symphonic Library virtual instruments, and timing music to action on screen.

On April 17th, 2025, the Ball State Symphony Orchestra recorded original film music in collaboration with the 10 student composers in Dr. Routenberg's class. Professor Gregory Robbins' graduate conducting students conducted all of the student compositions. Student composer Julian Cain rescored this short clip of a rooftop chase sequence from the 2018 movie Aquaman. This video features the BSSO and was mixed by Dr. Christoph Thompson and edited by Dr. Scott Routenberg, who supervised all projects.
