Course Description:

This is a course for those wishing to gain experience of band performance and develop their instrumental or vocal skills. It offers students an entry-level introduction into the world of a working musician. This is predominantly a practical course with most work being completed in sessions. However, research and a strict practice routine is vital in order to succeed on the course. Assessments of academic work will be supported through use of ICT sessions, written work, group discussion and video evidence of student understanding and achievement. The final project will be to organise, promote and perform a gig at a local venue with the support of dedicated staff.

In addition, students will study at least one Functional Skill in English, maths or ICT as part of their main programme.

This course is a Foundation Learning programme and so as well as the vocational qualification and Functional Skills, a WorkSkills qualification will also be undertaken.

Course Content:

Units include:

  • Music Rehearsal Skills
  • Live Music Performance
  • Composing Music
  • Composing Lyrics
  • The Music Artist and You
  • Instrumental Study
  • Musicianship

Entry Requirements:

Satisfactory completion of compulsory school education and via interview candidates must be deemed to have the potential and opportunity to successfully gain the qualification. Applicants should have basic practical skills on an instrument such as voice, keyboard, piano, guitar, bass guitar or drums.

Career Opportunities:

The music industry is one of this country’s major employers and opportunities for work in this field extend much further than simply performing. A career in music might focus on education work, on composing or arranging, on management and administration, on technology or on a whole range of opportunities in the publishing and retail sections

Course Progression:

Successful completion of this course can lead to the Rockschool Level 2 Diploma at our Colchester Campus, which can progress to the Extended Diploma in Popular Music.
