Music Technology

UPDATED 20161103 15:35:40

The Edexcel GCE Music Technology course is challenging and exciting; designed to give students a ‘hands-on’ insight into working in the music technology industry. Over the two years pupils will develop practical skills in recording, mixing and sequencing, as well as creating their own compositions and arrangements using technology. In addition, the course requires students to listen analytically to a range of 20th and 21st century styles and genres, understanding the vital role technology plays within the music industry. Therefore, it is a prerequisite that students should have an interest in, and willingness to learn about, many contrasting styles of music, as well as wanting to create music using technology.
