We’re different from other schools in our attitude to teaching Music Production and Audio Engineering. We don’t think they’re best learnt by writing lots of essays – we go for the hands-on approach rather than an eyes-down approach. Expect to roll up your sleeves up and get stuck into creative tasks – remixing, track deconstructions, collaborative projects, recording bands, and ultimately working towards writing quality music in the style that you want to.
