Creative Practice
This element develops your core individual and collaborative skills in your specialist area, (performance, composition or production), through individual, ensemble and studio tuition. Students also participate in creative projects giving further opportunities to specialise or broaden their musical education.
Applied Musicianship
Applied Musicianship develops your understanding of the relationship between theory and practice, covering areas such as harmony, composition, arranging and improvisation integrated with academic studies. Opportunities in years two and three allow students to specialise or broaden areas of interest through a range of optional modules.
Professional Studies
This component enables you to develop relevant professional skills through theoretical and practical opportunities. Students explore areas such as community music, pedagogy, music journalism, the music industry and professional development. The College’s extensive range of visiting industry specialists contributes to the delivery of this element of the course.
