Music Performance

This two-year foundation degree concentrates on technical command of an instrument or voice, built up by performing, recording, producing and writing songs. Learners also trace how music has evolved as an art form and as a commercial enterprise, which gives context to their practical training. Teaching is led by working practitioners from the music and creative sectors. Learners use studios, Mac suites, rehearsal spaces and a dedicated live venue, and visiting speakers together with embedded industry opportunities help them grow professional contacts. Assessment follows the kinds of tasks that professionals face, so the work stays close to real practice. The degree suits people aiming for careers spanning digital entertainment, live events and social platforms, where adaptability and collaboration matter as much as musicianship. Graduates leave with a network and a portfolio that support further study or employment.
