RSL Level 3 Extended Diploma in the Creative Music Industry - Music Technology

This is a hands on, practical experience in a wide range of disciplines centred around Music Technology. We use state of the art equipment to give you the best possible experience. We have industry standard hardware and software, such as Pro Tools and Logic Pro software, Avid C24 and /Allen & Heath GSR24M desks and a range of professional quality microphones.

The course offers valuable experience which sets students on a career focused trajectory through work experience and practical study. The Music Technology students at Blackburn College run events, recording sessions, practical equipment demonstrations, and even contribute to a student-run record label.

First year covers careers and employment within the music industry, music journalism and influences in more depth and detail, music composition and songwriting, rehearsal and performance skills, live and recorded sound, event management and music promotion. Moving into the second year, students cover how to release and generate income from music commodities, explore current events and issues within the music industry to date, and finalise their learning with a collaborative music project around a music-related focus of the students' choosing.
