Many have signed recording and publishing contracts. Career outcomes include working as session musicians, as music producers and as music writers for computer games and advert campaigns.

Some of our students come to us with experience of working in other areas of the performing arts, such as a secondary performance skill, the management of projects - such as band promotion or involvement in technical aspects of performance. Not all candidates have this experience, but all candidates should be able to demonstrate interest and knowledge in other art forms.
Communication Skills
The ability to communicate well is pivotal, both verbally and in writing.
Enterprise
We are looking for evidence that you are able to work on your own initiative. Good examples may be projects you have been involved with that are not part of your school qualifications.
