Music major’s internship strikes a personal chord

In this episode of Challenge. Change., music major Brenna Moore ’24 takes us inside her summer internship at Acadia Recording Company, a studio based in Portland, Maine. Moore’s audio diary guides listeners as she sets up microphones and shadows the studio’s engineer during the mixing process. On this day, Moore was able to do something unique: record herself playing violin for an artist who uses the studio.

Moore finds inspiration everywhere when writing her own music — sometimes she puts on Spotify and just starts jamming. She’d considered other majors, but after some soul searching knew music was the right choice.

“I’ve been singing since I was a baby,” she says. “Music is my life. It’s everything to me.”
