City College Music Courses
For a full listing, visit the city college website. The first diploma course details are reproduced here for your information:-
BTEC First Diploma in Music
School/Department: School of Creative Arts City College Norwich
Study Mode: Full Time
Course Level: Level 2
Course Duration: one year
Course Description:
This programme offers an ideal starting point if you want to pursue a career in music and plan to progress to the National Diploma or AS/A2 programmes. You do not have to be a proficient musician, versed in music theory, or have an expertise in a chosen instrument. You do have to be passionate about music, willing to have your musical horizons challenged, and be eager to progress with your playing, your understanding of music theory, and your willingness to begin to understand the nature of the music business
With an emphasis on various forms of popular and contemporary music, the course will focus on the practical and the theoretical. Across the 6 modules you will begin to explore music theory, the workings of the music industry as a business and as a cultural force in modern society, and – of course- get a lot of opportunity to play. Expect to have your standard of musicianship raised considerably. Expect also to learn a lot about working with other people, particularly within a band context. Right from the start you will be treated like a young professional musician, with gigs at the likes of the Playhouse, the Arts Centre, and rehearsals in PLUG STUDIOS recording studios – as well as in the College’s purpose built recording, rehearsal and technology studios
There are a number of key visits during the year. These change each year, but for now the main thing to consider is that you will need to see a lot of live music
Entry Requirements:
Four GCSEs at Grades D-E; short interview/audition. The audition will be essential. As well as an opportunity to show what you can do, given a short musical task, it is a chance to meet your potential future staff, experience the facilities, and consider what life in the Performing Arts Department is like.
Academic Progression:
After successfully completing this course many students progress onto the full time two year National Diploma programme. From here it is possible to progress onto the Foundation Degree in Music Practice
Career Progression:
Completion of this course offers an ideal starting point if you want to pursue a career in music.
