The programme will be project led and will cater for both musicians and technicians within a working environment. Furthermore it can also be a progression route onto the National Diploma courses.
The Programme Content
The course is split into eight units or modules. The modules all relate to Music or Music Technology, but some are aspects you may not have thought of. You will study units that include or relate to Music Performance, planning and setting up a Recording, Sequencing (composing music using computers), Learning about aspects of Music (such as notation, styles and structures), Study of the Music Business, and a Final Major Performance that you will help to organise as either a performer or technician.
