Create strong, focused compositions and productions that capture your creative musical ideas across a variety of styles.
While talent will get you far, to be successful, it is vital as a producer and music-maker to be ‘tech savvy’ and skilled with industry standard software – Avid Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, MaxMSP, and Ableton Live for recording, and Sibelius for crafting high quality notated scores. The Bachelor degree also explores channels of music distribution, monetisation and copyright, and on graduation you will have completed a rich portfolio of your own productions and songs as a showcase of your talent.
