The new BTEC National in Music combines up-to-date industry knowledge with the right balance of the practical, research and behavioural skills students need to succeed in higher education and in their careers.
WHERE DOES IT LEAD? It provides access to Higher Education in Music, the sound and music industry and related fields. BTEC students can be better prepared in terms of the independent studying that's required at degree level, due to the portfolio-based nature of BTEC courses. The management and self-organisation skills students will pick up on a BTEC course can also give an added edge.
COURSE DETAILS: The BTEC course is an excellent bridge for students who want to continue their musical education beyond GCSE and further their understanding of technological aspects of music, and the music industry. BTEC Music Level 3, will extend the skills acquired at GCSE, allowing specialist interest to flourish. It gives the students a foundation for pursuing a music career. The BTEC course structure will offer the scope for musicians to make a wider selection in the Sixth Form than ever before. The focus of this course is on musical literacy and theoretical knowledge through composition, performance and professional practice.
