Music
Whether you are a complete beginner or a professional musician, we have something for you. Our teaching staff of professional performers, composers and sound engineers work in a range of genres across the music industry.
Beginner-level singers or those with a little experience may choose between our Find Your Voice courses or Sing Gospel. Instrumentalists have a choice of piano, electric keyboard, ukulele, acoustic and electric guitar courses. Our year-long accredited courses give you the opportunity to take Rockschool Electric Guitar and Trinity Guildhall graded exams.
We offer a variety of music theory courses to prepare you for the Associated Board’s music theory graded exams, and workshops for budding songwriters. Our state-of-the-art Apple Mac music technology studio is equipped with Logic 9 and a range of essential hardware. Choose from introductory courses for beginners, or our NCFE Certificate and Extended Certificate in Music Technology for those with a little experience, covering everything from studio techniques to music business employability skills. We also provide training in radio production, DJ skills, podcasting and creative sound art courses.
