This course aims to give you the skills, knowledge and understanding for performance jobs in the music industry. You will rehearse, present and evaluate a major live music performance. You will also compose original music in collaboration with a second writer. In addition, you will perform music in a recording studio environment. One of the units, ‘Planning for a career’ will explore the music profession in detail. Other exciting optional units include, ‘Music Performance to a Camera’ and ‘Auditioning for Music’.

Guided by enthusiastic and professional musicians, you will have the opportunity to perform on a regular basis in a variety of formal and informal contexts.

There are many opportunities for musicians to perform at St Wilfrid’s. We have a vibrant and exciting extra-curricular programme of choirs, bands and instrumental ensembles. We regularly perform at different venues in the local and wider community.

The RSL Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma for Music Practitioners is equivalent to one and a half A-Levels. Externally and internally assessed units form the basis of the course.
