This programme is for students who wish to develop their musical
skills, awareness and competence.
You develop performance skills, background knowledge of music and
an understanding of the industry. The focus is on the musician as a
member of a group rather than as a solo performer, and the aim of
the programme is to enhance your chances of employment in the music
industry.
It is broad-based and gives you an introduction to the skills and
areas of knowledge needed to contemplate a professional career.
Areas of study include: performance, music technology, listening
skills, the music industry, live sound, recording techniques, music
theory, history and context of popular music, and 20th century
music.
This course is 100% coursework which means you need to be well
organised! Guest speakers, workshops, trips and visits are also
embedded into this course. Our new partnership with the SAE
Institute means you could work on live projects within creative
media production.
You gain a complete range of skills that aid you in a career in
music and/or onto the next step towards higher education.
Our specialist staff are practitioners in the music industry and
have wide international connections. They will teach you to
perform, to react and play for your audience, to devise music for a
variety of contexts, and to embrace the history of this very
important area of work.
Applicants for a Level 3 programme will normally have at least 4
GCSEs at grade C or above (including some subjects related to the
proposed area of study), and/or a completed Level 2 award, and the
willingness to study for an additional Level 2 qualification in
English and/or maths.
If you are interested in a Level 3 programme and have alternative
qualifications you would like us to consider, please contact us
with your details. Applicants will be invited to attend an
interview and complete an internal assessment. All students will
have their literacy and numeracy needs supported within the
programme.
You may be able to progress on to a related higher education
course, such as a 2-year degree programme offered by the SAE
Institute, a new partner of ours.
The SAE Institute delivers creative media courses in sound/audio
engineering, music production, digital film-making, web
development, 3D/interactive animation and games programming. The
degree option for successful completion of this programme is the
SAE BA/BSc in Audio Production.
Our Roland Academy status ensures that a good range of professional equipment is available to students on the course.
