Overview
What will I learn?
You will learn to improve your performance on your chosen instrument, you will rehearse and perform live at top venues, you will have the opportunity to be recorded in a professional studio, you will learn to improve your music theory and how to promote your work.
Students will get to experience the excellent studio complex in Greenock or our new state of the art studio in Paisley, as well using the premier rehearsal facility in Scotland, Berkeley Studios in Glasgow. We put on a number of events in venues such as St Luke’s in Glasgow and the Beacon arts Centre.
