This course would appeal to anyone interested in studying performing, composition, contextual studies, music technology or a mixture of these, at a school that has a music specialism. Modern disciplines are studied which related directly to careers in television, radio, film or gaming. Alternatively, students can opt to follow a more traditional study pathway with composition, performance, and music studies. The ability to mix pathways means that students can study the aspects of the subject that inspire them, from the traditional to how the industry is organised today through to technological pathways. During the RSL course there are multiple trips to studios and workshops with artists. For students studying performance, free individual instrumental lessons will be taught in-house by our music team. Students can choose to mix areas in their option units. Students can choose from hundreds of combinations of units and follows a tailor-made course. Learn how to mix your own beats, or record like a BBC engineer on the Technology Pathway; concentrate on contemporary performance without having to worry about set works or theory on the performance pathway; or mirror A Level content and focus on classical works in performance, theory and composition; write your own EP in the composition pathway, or learn how to score for film and TV (notation and theory is optional); or discover what makes the UK music industry one of the largest exporters and find out about jobs in publications, artists and repertoire and labels in the music industry pathway. All students take a unit examining the music industry in the UK, and a second year unit based on their chosen pathway.
