MUSIC PERFORMANCE BTEC Diploma/Extended Diploma
Musical talent is one thing. The ability to give a performance is another – and that’s the focus of this diverse, exciting and creative study programme.
You will have a unique opportunity to make your own music, rehearse, and perform with like-minded people
No matter what your musical style, from heavy metal to modernism, we can help bring out the performer in you. The two-year qualification is split into no less than 18 units. They all relate to music practice, but some explore aspects of musical performance that might surprise you. For example, you may study group and solo performance, recording, sequencing, composition, research units, history of pop music, music theory, aural/listening skills, and music business.
The aim of the programme is to turn you into a performer, ready to become a professional in a range of genres or performance venues (theatre, rock, club etc.). Throughout the programme, you’ll perform and also produce written, recorded and sequenced work and PowerPoint presentations.
You will need to show evidence of previous music performance outside school and you will be auditioned as well as interviewed.
