What the college says

Music is all around us. It influences our moods and emotions and stimulates us in many ways. It is a universal language central to cultures around the world. Recent neurological research has proven that studying an instrument is the only activity we do that engages every part of your brain. It develops your intelligence, your ability to solve problems and your emotional insight. This course will give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in music and express yourself as a performer and/or a composer. It will give you an insight into the varied employment opportunities in the music industry and practical experiences and performance opportunities to be proud of for the rest of your life. The course can be adapted to your interests, abilities and aspirations both in what you study and in how you are assessed.
