If you want a course that will allow you to produce high quality music and understand how to manage and take part in live performances, then this is the course for you. Working with your classmates in bands and recording and mixing music together, you will learn how to collaborate professionally in the most exciting and cutting-edge creative industry. This course will provide you with insights and experiences into the roles of a music producer, sound engineer, music technology performer, commercial industry executive and journalist. On completion of this course, you’ll be provided with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to progress to further study and training in a range of music performance and production disciplines.
You will need four GCSEs Grade 4 or above including either maths or English and preferably be able to play an instrument to a good standard.
Independent work is fundamental to the course; at least 50% of all work assessed should have happened outside the classroom. Homework is set weekly. Initially it is set by lecturers and will be tightly specified and closely linked to class workshops; it will be monitored regularly. As the course develops you will be required to set your own homework/independent work based on agreed learning needs. Your ongoing work will be assessed in lessons through focused 1:1 discussion. Journals will be assessed regularly for reflective, thoughtful, analytical critical evaluation of your rehearsal and performance processes. Discussions and presentations are a vital part of our assessment process and you will be expected to contribute to these during your lessons.
