Training Course Content
What you'll learn
The focus of the course is to bring students up to speed with the basic skills and techniques required for both music performance and production. You will work in bands with other musicians where you will undertake the challenge of learning and performing cover songs, as well as being introduced to songwriting and writing original material.
You will be introduced to the basics of music technology and live sound and will be expected to record and produce music using Logic Pro X.
Alongside this, you will be critically reflecting on your own progress on the course as well as learning about the music industry, business, history, marketing and music theory through classroom delivery and guest speakers.
Continuing Studies
Upon successful completion of this course, many of our students continue their education onto our Level 3 Music Performance and Production course.
Due to the broad nature of the music course, students could go on to specialise in areas such as music performance, production, audio engineering, music business, song writing, events management, musical theatre, music therapy, and live sound, either in the industry or through apprenticeships.
