It aims to attract students from a wide range of musical backgrounds and experiences and provide the skills required to progress into employment, self-employment and/or higher-level study.

The course comprises 360 credits over an accelerated 2 year period. It is designed to equip you with the skills required to operate across a range of freelance music opportunities with a focus on music performance.
