\n

Studying for a professional qualification in music production is a multi-disciplinary course of study, which includes 2-3 local days per week as well as distance learning and independent work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The studies in songwriting <\/strong>include lessons in songwriting and lyrics, song seminars, music programming courses and guest lectures. They will also include an introduction to other aspects of working in the music industry: contract and copyright issues, sales of gigs, preparing gig offers, entrepreneurship and employment, equipment and safety at work. Optional courses include recording, entrepreneurship, theory, composition and music notation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Music Production specialisation<\/strong> includes recording and mixing studies, studio work and production projects, software courses such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, music production history and production analysis, and guest lectures. The course also includes an introduction to other aspects of working in the music industry: contract and copyright issues, gig sales, preparing gig offers, entrepreneurship and employment, equipment and safety at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first year of study, lessons and lectures are usually held on Mondays and Tuesdays from around 9am to 4pm. There will be a lot of independent work, and on other days of the week you can, for example, have co-writing sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The studies are carried out in the form of evidence-based learning. Most of the time, the demonstration is a recording you make yourself, but depending on the part of the degree, it can be a concert in a concert hall or a songwriters’ evening, for example. More theoretical subjects are covered by exams or written assignments. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
