HNC Music

Develop a strong grounding in core disciplines which will allow you to enhance your musical skills and understanding of the Creative Industries.

You will have opportunities to perform your music locally and further afield, and you can study full-time or part-time to suit your personal and professional circumstances.

Subjects in this course include:

• Music business
• Composition
• Music theory
• Sound production

Entry Requirements

Applicants should hold at least one of the following qualifications:

• 1 Scottish Higher at grade C or above
• 1 A level at grade D or above
• NC Music

Prospective students without the standard entry requirements as listed above are encouraged to apply.

We accept any instrument or musician that can be incorporated into popular music practice such as: vocalists; guitarists (bass, acoustic, electric); drummers; keyboard/synth/pianists; songwriters; composers; laptop musicians; and other instrumentalists. The course involves both individual and band-based ensemble work.

You will be asked to attend an audition and interview. You should prepare and perform a piece that demonstrates your skillset on your instrument or voice and, for writers, this can be an original composition or song. As a guideline, grade 4/5 is a rough equivalent of performance level for this course. However, consideration will also be given to musicians with similar experience that have not participated in graded repertoire.
