MUSIC
BTEC A Level Equivalent

Our UAL Music course is focused on musical training, rehearsal and performance. Students spend their time developing technical skill on their chosen instrument or voice, while also gaining the experience of playing and creating music in a professional environment.



Training covers a wide range of areas, including instrumental and vocal technique, ensemble performance, music theory and music technology. Students learn how to rehearse effectively, interpret different musical styles and perform with confidence, both as soloists and as part of a group.



The course places a strong emphasis on live performance, with regular gigs, showcases and recording opportunities. These experiences allow students to put their training into practice in front of audiences, building stagecraft and professionalism while gaining a real sense of what it is like to work in the music industry.

In addition, students explore songwriting and composition, creating original material and experimenting with different genres.

They also work with recording and production tools, developing the technical knowledge to record, edit and produce their own music.



Assessment is project-based and practical, focusing on rehearsals, performances and recorded work rather than exams. By the end of the course, students will have built a strong portfolio of live and studio-based music, alongside the training, confidence and experience to progress to higher education or directly into the music industry.
