Students would need to have significant experience in performing and/or writing contemporary music. Entry is at the discretion of the Course Leader, Miss Barker.




Level 3 Contemporary Music

13MUC is a course designed for the serious contemporary musician. Students will receive time, resources and guidance to develop their creativity in an area of their passion. The course is heavily based on project learning in which students will study performance, composition, musical context and technology. The end result is a student with a high level of performance ability, who can create and produce their own music based on their own influences as well as their knowledge of the contemporary music canon. They can then record, mix and master this music to an industry-acceptable level. It is expected that students are continuing to develop advanced skills and techniques on their chosen performance instrument through lessons outside of class.
