Music BTEC

Course summary

Music BTEC This course develops the skills needed for a career in this field, although many of the skills such as creative thinking, problem solving and teamwork are vital skills in today’s workplace across the board. The course is a Subsidiary Diploma run by the Rockschool exam board, which is worth slightly more than one full A level. Unlike Level 3 vocational courses run at other specialist music colleges on the island, this course can be combined with two other A levels to give students more options. Students complete a number of units, which at Level 3 can be largely tailored to the individual student and his/her aims and interests, including all aspects of music from performance to composition and music business. It can also be focused on music technology so making professional sounding studio recordings from scratch and music production using a range of software. If taking the performance option, students will also take part in regular performances to improve their stagecraft and confidence. Christ the King has modern, newly build facilities and staff highly experienced in teaching music and music technology at Level 3, with a strong background of results.
