Music Level 3

A career in music can be much more than getting up and performing and our Music courses will give you an insight into the whole music industry and all the job possibilities in this exciting area. The tutors are all involved in the music business themselves so you'll have first hand knowledge from professionals during your course. In addition you will have the opportunity to work in the new Grimsby School of Art in state of the art recording studios and rehearsal rooms.

Our studios are complete with powerful Apple Mac technology, complemented with the latest digital work surfaces. We believe our recording studios really set us apart and are the best for recording in the local area.

Our four fully-equipped rehearsal spaces will allow you to perform with like-minded musicians, complemented by a full backline of Tama drums, Marshall, Orange and Blackstar amplification and full vocal PA to ensure your rehearsal is as professional as possible.

With our two MIDI suites, with nearly 40 iMac computers loaded with the latest software, you can mix undisturbed in the classroom and generate any documents with a complimentary copy of MS Office suite for each learner.

The Level 3 Creative Music Industries course further develops skills in song writing, performance, production and more! Our Level 3 is equivalent to three A-Levels and is a brilliant springboard into university. It is an expectation that our learners continue from Level 2 to Level 3, depending on achievement. And it doesn’t end there…we have our own Level 4 degree courses in Popular Music Performance and Music Production for those serious future music industry pioneers!

When you do a vocational qualification you will learn in a workshop, salon or studio as appropriate for your subject and you will usually be assessed through practical assessments, projects, assignments and oral and written questions. There may be exams in some subjects and your tutor will prepare you for these.

Entry requirements for our courses depend on the specific requirements of each Programme of Study and an individual’s previous experience, which will all be discussed during the interview process.
The following is a guide as to what you might be expected to achieve to gain entry on to a particular level of a course

5 GCSEs grade 4 or above, or equivalent, including Maths and English Language. Audition at interview.

Successful students may progress onto the next level in their chosen subject, into employment or an apprenticeship, or, after a level 3 qualification, to Higher Education at the University Centre Grimsby or other other University.
