Music Performance & Production

• Project 1 provides an introduction to music performance and production, examining roles within the modern industry and looking at the building blocks of contemporary music.
• Project 2 will give you the basic skills required to write and produce your own music. Building on the musical elements examined in the first project, you will use software such as Logic Pro to compose your their own work in our IT suite and rehearsal rooms.
• Project 3 focuses on learning music for both electric and acoustic performances so that you have the skills to perform in a variety of contexts.
• The level 2 Final Music Project will encourage you to explore your individual talents and concentrate on a project that develops your unique interests.

This course is based around completing four projects throughout the year, so assessment is mainly of a practical nature; performances, recordings and compositions make up the majority of the evidence. There is a small element of written work such as research, keeping a reflective journal and building a portfolio of material. Functional skills, or GCSE English/maths will also be assessed if appropriate.
