Course summary
88% of students on our music courses said they 'would recommend their course to others' in the National Student Survey 2016.
This course offers you the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience of the key elements in live sound and events. Practical live sound-engineering, system design, recording techniques, acoustics and event management form the key components of the course.
This course builds upon the existing music technology provision, building on the unique opportunities for live production on offer at the London College of Music. There are a number of specialist performance courses including pop performance, performance and musical theatre which require full event support. The Live Sound Production course focuses on the key elements required to support events from smaller productions through to large-scale events and festivals, looking in detail at the technical, practical and legal and management aspects of running a live event.
On this course you will be provided with the opportunity to gain underlying skills in recording and mixing to support live engineering, allowing you to diversify into studio-based recording and production. Video capture and editing skills are also delivered, as are analogue and digital audio theory, synthesis and production skills.
