Technology is increasingly fundamental to the way music is written, performed, recorded and distributed. As the tools of the trade become cheaper and more sophisticated, there are more opportunities than ever for people to produce music of professional quality without spending a fortune. It's true to say that musicians are now only limited by their imaginations and their motivation to learn! This course looks at how various kinds of technology are used in the creation and production of popular music. Students with a good understanding of music (both theory and practice) will be able to develop their skills in Arranging (Year 1) and Composing (Year 2); whilst acquiring technical skills in Sequencing, Synthesis, Recording and Mixing. Most importantly, students will learn to listen analytically: this skill underpins all practical activities.
