About this course

Free Level 3 Music Performance and Production Course in Hull. Classes run at Wilberforce College, full-time during the day over two years. You'll develop skills in performing, recording, and music production through practical, hands-on learning. The course covers both live performance and studio work, giving you a broad foundation for a career in the music industry. To join, you'll need four GCSEs at grade 3 or above, including at least grade 3 in English Language. You'll also audition informally in the first week to confirm your performance level.

Who this course is for

The UAL Extended Diploma in Music Performance and Production is designed for students who are passionate about music and aspire to build a career in the music industry. This course offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers various aspects of music performance, production techniques, and industry knowledge.

Entry requirements

In order to enrol on this course, you must have four 9 - 4 grades at GCSE or equivalent in 3 or more subjects including a minimum grade 3 in GCSE English Language or Literature.

You must be able to play an instrument or sing confidently in front of others to a good standard. You will be required to informally audition in the first week of this course.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop your skills as a performer on your chosen instrument or as a vocalist.
  • You'll learn how to record and produce music in a studio environment.
  • You'll study music theory and how it applies to performance and production.
  • You'll explore songwriting, composition, and arrangement techniques.
  • You'll learn how to use industry-standard recording software and equipment.
  • You'll develop your ability to collaborate with other musicians on live and recorded projects.
  • You'll build an understanding of the music industry, including how it operates professionally.

How you will learn

Learning is classroom and studio based, with a strong practical focus. You'll be assessed through performances, recorded productions, and portfolio work rather than traditional written exams. Projects are designed to reflect real music industry tasks, so assessment runs alongside your creative work throughout the course. There may also be written assignments covering music theory and industry knowledge.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Wilberforce College will confirm anything else you need before you start. You will need to be able to play an instrument or sing confidently, as you'll audition informally in the first week.
