<p>So happy to have found this thread. My son is looking for programs in Sound Engineering/Recording Arts. He is also not a top notch performer, but he has been doing sound at church for 4 years. Nice to hear that some of you have found great programs without needing to be performers. How did some of you find what you thought was a quality program? Some of you mentioned co-op programs, a lot of what we have been looking at have internships available. Are these the same?</p>
