Course description
Our Modern Musicianship Performance and Production (SCP) course is for S5 and S6 pupils with some musical experience. Typically participants will have studied music up to National 5 level, although this isn't essential if they have equivalent experience from elsewhere.
It provides an introduction to working in the areas of music performance and production.
School pupils attend college for two afternoons a week.
On one of the afternoons, students focus on music-making in small groups, working in rehearsal rooms and our auditorium on both covers and originals. At the end of each term, there is an opportunity to perform to friends and family in informal gigs; there are also opportunities to record and be filmed in our superb studio.
On the other afternoon, students work on self-directed projects using DAW software, creating new music in response to a series of briefs under the supervision of a music technology expert.
