Still a good course to take if your music skills are a bit on the low side.

I think understanding traditionnal music theory and having good ear training
skills is very important in sound recording and electroacoustics.

A keyboard is still useful to me when I can't figure out the pitch (Hz) of a
sound by ear. A quick turn to my keyboard and voila! Another way would be to
use a spectrogram, HEY! A program that does provide spectral analysis is
another tool I greatly appreciated during my degree.
