This qualification will develop your knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of musical theory and harmony, and how they are applied to practical musical activities. You will thus develop and apply this theoretical knowledge of music in a useful and practical vocational way. Music is a well-respected subject with many employers, who recognise the specific skills that musicians bring to an organisation. With an increasingly digital world, companies and organisations are extremely focussed on their digital message, which includes advertising via video, music video and social media. Having music composition and production skills is an asset to any organisation that hopes to compete in the digital content future. The pursuit of music as a discipline is also well known for its extra-musical benefits: studying music increases concentration, and overall cognitive performance in students.
