Базовая степень
Year One
The first year of study is arranged over four 30 credit modules that extend across both semesters. These modules are:
Musicianship
A solid musical and instrumental foundation is common to all great musicians. This module is designed to help students develop their musicianship on their chosen instrument/voice and encompasses study of instrumental technique, practical harmony and theory, aural perception and reading skills.
Music Performance
The live music scene has grown in significance over the past decade and an ability to perform in rehearsal, the studio and on stage is a central theme of this programme. In addition, students will investigate the use of technology in performance, stage craft and performing original musical work.
Developing Creative Skills
It is critical that artists can contextualize their own work within that of the wider creative arts, from film to fashion, and be able to self-reflect and therefore adapt as the creative environment changes. This module will introduce the student to these wider themes whilst also working on developing personal creative skills, such as songwriting, composition and arranging.
The Music Industry
A developed understanding of the music industry and how it has grown and developed will provide students with the tools to help make wise decisions on their own careers. Topics covered will include promotion, marketing, social networking, finance, distribution and an introduction to management.
Year Two
The second year of study is arranged over four 30 credit modules that extend across the two semesters. These modules are:
Applied Musicianship
Building on the year one module, this will further enhance the core musicianship skills that will enable the student to function in a wide range of creative situations and environments. This module will also include practical arranging skills.
Final Performance Project
This is the opportunity for student artists to sythesise the various strands of learning so far undertaken. They will have an understanding of their own work within the wider context, and will have built confidence in working creatively in a range of environments. They will have developed a business and entrepreneurial understanding of how their own work can be exploited.
Applying Creative Skills
Building upon the work in the first year, this module will challenge students to consider the image, presentation and promotion of their music. They will work on collaborative projects drawing on partnerships within the wider creative arts.
The Music Entrepreneur
The majority of the creative workforce is populated by self employed individuals who manage a portfolio career. The modern musician has to be aware of, and respond to, new opportunities in the capitalisation of their original output. This module will assist students in developing the personal and entrepreneurial skills, such as communication, leadership and self-management that will assist them when entering the music workplace
