Students have opportunities to see professional music performances, go behind the scenes and visit industry specialists. You also have opportunities to engage with community and local authority organisations and professional musicians.

There will be practical and written assessments, including assessments of your live performances.

Most students have university or drama school as a target at the end of their studies, and past students have gone on to join degree-level courses across the country, including some of the best colleges of Music and Performing Arts in the UK.
