What the college says

Students will follow one of two specialist pathways: performance or music technology. They will all complete a core unit in their specialism and choose from a range of options for the remaining units. This course offers students the ability to gain skills and knowledge in performing, composing, and in music technology and production, depending on which units are chosen. For performers the course broadens experience and skills in solo and ensemble performing and will also include workshop sessions and units in rehearsal skills and live music performance, recorded music performance, improvisation and being a session musician. For those interested in music technology the course provides opportunities for students to learn advanced skills in live sound recording, music sequencing and production, mixing, mastering, using effects, processors, EQ and filters. There may be some overlap between the pathways depending on which non core units the student chooses, and in the core units students will work together on larger projects involving live performances and recordings.

What you need to get on

Grade 4 or above if studied at GCSE. For the performing pathway, this is not essential as long as you have good instrumental and/or vocal performance skills and some experience in performing. For the music technology pathway an interest in recorded and live sound is essential. The Diploma is equivalent to 1.5 A levels and is made up of different units of work. All the units are based on practical, hands on musical experiences in a variety of settings. Students who are not known to us may need to attend an audition and/or interview with the music staff.
