MUSIC & MUSIC TECHNOLOGY BTEC First Extended Diploma


Making and producing music is a highly technical process these days. Whether it is the music or the technology component of the mix that excites you, this study programme is the perfect starting point for a career in this diverse and challenging industry.


A brilliant introduction to productions which have a music or music technology emphasis


This is a one-year study programme that will focus on practical skills that relate directly to industry-standard environments in both music and music technology. The programme is very much project-led and caters for both musicians and technicians.


You will have the opportunity to undertake work experience in our 800 capacity venue (the biggest venue of its kind in the South West!).


The course covers key areas such as: The Music Industry, Managing a Music Project, Music and Production Analysis, Music Showcase, Researching a Music Topic, Introducing Live Sound, Introducing Music Theory, Producing a Music Recording and Music Ensemble.


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.
