What the college says

Music Technology BTEC has a clear emphasis on music technology without the emphasis on music theory. The course equips students with skills for higher education and beyond. The content is designed to develop a broad range of skills including project management, appraising and analysis, creativity and imagination. This course will involve a few Music Technology Portfolios. These will include film music, jingles and video games, pop songs, and demonstrating recording techniques. Students will develop their understanding throughout the course using a Digital Audio Workstation and how they are able to manipulate, enhance and create music to show their knowledge and skills. Throughout the two years, students will extend their knowledge, skills and understanding developed in GCSE. It provides a worthwhile, satisfying and complete course of study, which broadens experience, develops imagination, fosters creativity and promotes personal and social development.
