You will need to bring the backing tracks in for the audition or have the YouTube links for the instrumental version of the song. You may also audition your own compositions. If you are a producer you will need to bring in two projects you have worked on previously to play and discuss how you created the tracks.
The Music Technology Level 3 course includes a variety of engaging and industry-relevant units such as Music Production Techniques, Studio Recording, Live Sound Engineering, Sound Design for Media, Music Composition Arrangement and Professional Portfolio Development.What makes the course exciting is the chance to create original tracks, manage live events and collaborate on real world projects.

Career opportunities include roles as Music Producer, Sound Engineer, Live Sound Technician, Studio Technician, Composer and Sound Designer for Film/Video Games.
All assessment is project based. You will be taught content that you then take into an assessment project to show what you have learnt. You will need to demonstrate the skills and techniques covered in sessions within your assessments and you will have to keep either written, video or audio logs to evidence you working. You will also have research projects covering the music industry where you undertake personal research tasks to show your understanding of a topic.
Each assessment is graded as pass, merit or distinction and at the end of the year your final grade is calculated on what you achieved across all of the projects
