Eight music technology students at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have successfully passed the AVID Pro Tools certification exam.

While many students successfully complete the music technology program in the UAB College of Arts and Sciences Department of Music, only a select few also complete the AVID certification training, and even fewer attain certification, says University Professor Henry Panion III, Ph.D. Panion is co-director of the music technology program with Associate Professor Scott Phillips, Ph.D.
