BMI Sponsors USC Students in Mentorship Program With Revered Engineer Dennis Sands

Emmy, GRAMMY and 4-time Oscar-nominee Dennis Sands again this year mentored University of Southern California’s Scoring for Motion Picture & Television students with an instructional mixing program. The renowned opportunity, which was offered virtually, gives participants the ability to mix their scores and cues with Dolby Atmos surround-sound technology, then have their work critiqued by Sands. The in-demand program, sponsored by BMI, is overseen by Professor of Practice at USC Thornton School of Music, Dan Carlin.

A revered sound engineer, Dennis Sands has shared his extensive expertise by working with some of BMI’s most celebrated composers, including Danny Elfman, Thomas Newman, John Powell and longtime collaborator Alan Silvestri.
