About this course

Free Level 3 Music Course in Isleworth. Classes run at Isleworth and Syon School for Boys, part-time during the day.

The course puts music technology at its centre. You'll explore practical and theoretical elements of music technology, alongside project management, creative thinking, and critical analysis. It's designed for people who want to develop broad musical skills without a heavy focus on music theory. The course runs over two years.

You'll need to be playing at around Grade 5 standard on at least one instrument to join. You'll finish with a Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma for Music Practitioners.

Who this course is for

There is a clear emphasis on music technology without the emphasis on music theory - the qualification includes practical/theoretical elements of music technology which motivate students and reduces the emphasis on music theory that some students struggle with. The content is designed to develop a broad range of skills including project management/appraising and analysis/creativity/imagination.

Entry requirements
