You should have a keen interest in recording sound, production and the developments of Music Technology since the introduction of recorded sound. You should be heavily involved with the music department including setting up and running the sound for Akeley Woodfest (our annual music festival). You are assessed via a mixture of examined coursework and traditional examinations. You will learn about the correct way to mic up drum kits, guitars and vocals. This will lead to producing a Multi-Track recording taken from a list of artists, provided by the exam board. Not only do you control the recording session, but you are required to mix the recording to a professional standard. You will learn a wide range of skills including Midi and Audio Sequencing, Mixing, Audio Editing, Multi-tracking and will develop your compositional skills through the Technology-based composition.
Entry to Sixth Form is by application and is dependent on the candidate achieving the minimum academic requirement of five GCSE grades at C or above (at least three at Grade B or above). The equivalent of GCSE Music Level 5 is needed to study Music Technology. However, applications from suitable candidates are also considered. You should be a dedicated and enthusiastic student with a passion for Music and Production. A Level Music Technology combines practical, analytical, creative and academic study with a focus on independence and self-motivation. You will be responsible for organising yourself and other musicians during recording sessions so organisation and the ability to manage your time effectively are essential.
