Music Technology is an exciting subject centred around contemporary music. Students will learn how to sequence, produce, record and mix using a range of hardware and software. Ex-students have progressed to study the subject further at degree level and work within the music industry.

No prior knowledge of recording or sequencing is needed, but any experience is an advantage. Most importantly, a willingness to embrace all styles of music is expected. Students are required to • take part in departmentally organised co-curricular groups. Trips to professional recording studios and concerts are organised. Music Technology allows students to progress to degree level and gives a wide range of career prospects within the music industry including producing, engineering and composing. There are three areas of study: • Recording and production techniques for both corrective and creative purposes • Principles of sound and audio technology • The development of recording and production technology
