Overview

This one-year course is designed for students who are looking to develop their understanding of music production and technology for a career in the music industry. Alongside the course, you will also study for your Mathematics and English Functional Skills and/or GCSE qualifications.

Five GCSEs at grade 3 or above, including English.

On this course, you will have the opportunity to study a variety of music technology and production areas, alongside planning your musical career and how to promote yourself and others in the modern musical world. Units will include:  Remixing and production Using a keyboard with a DAW  Live sound reinforcement Studio recording Live recording Careers in music Music, marketing and promotion

You will be taught by music industry professionals who are both qualified lecturers and specialists in their discipline. The course programme uses practical teaching methods to develop essential skills. Classroom and homework activities will help you discover fundamental aspects of the music industry and other music related areas. Students will be required to work independently and within groups.

You will be continually assessed on a Pass or Fail basis on the first 7 units. The final unit will be graded on a Pass, Merit, Distinction level. Much of the work is practical in nature but written assignments and presentations are required to support this. There is a big emphasis on research which is excellent preparation for Level 3. There is no final examination.

At HSDC, students who gain at least an overall Merit grade can progress to our Level 3 qualifications. The pathway can then lead to a Level 4 (here at HSDC) or Higher Education if desired. Some students may gain employment in the music industry as a direct result of achieving an overall Merit or Distinction.

Tom Andrews, A Level Student

My experience at the College was great, it’s very different to school, and I think it’s a good step to going to university. The support was amazing, I loved all of my teachers, they helped me through everything. The College is friendly and you will succeed.

Heidi Adamson Brattland, A Level student

The teaching and support was absolutely brilliant, they couldn’t have done anything more or anything better, if I had any questions my lecturers would always stay behind to help me if I needed it and their emails were always open, it was second to none. This college is the best by far.
