The coursework element of the course includes an arrangement of a popular song in an alternative genre, a sequenced realisation of a popular song and a multi-track recording. You will also study the history of popular music and jazz from 1920.
There are now many Music Technology degree courses available that cover a wide spectrum of areas in the music and media business. You need to be a keen and competent musician, work well with computers and technical equipment and be able to read music to a good standard to succeed on this course.
