Course in Music Production

Course in Music Production

Anyone done it? Im seriously thinking about doing it after this degree, and was just wondering if anyone else can offer any adive about it…


*hope this isnt my midlife crisis already*

theres one @ newcatle college....think im gonna do it too
big dave might be going it aswell when he finishes!

yeah was speakin to lee foster about it a bit... hahaha, when u thinkin of starting? 2004? Do u know much about it already? Flat mate next year is into it quite heavily, so i guess I ll find out a lot more next year… *sticks two fingers up at office work*

i dont really know much about it, but i quite fancy it. it all depends what i decide to do after my final year.
i would like to open a clothes shop, so maybe ill do that instead? or carry on doin multimedia stuff?
im undecided @ the moment, but ive got a whole year think...

Richie elliott is on it, and he should be comin on here this afternoon! he's on HND at the mo moving 2 degree soon!

Its supposed to be very band/group production orientated rather than producing dance track stylee stuff! I htink

I did it. At The John Marley Centre for Music & Performing Arts (Newcastle College)

Started when I was 16 and still at school. Because I'd looked into it I knew I needed 4 GCSEs at grade C or above, and a relevant qualification, so I did a NCFE Access Certificate in Music Technology on a Saturday for 20 weeks.
Started BTEC National Diploma in Music Technology last September (2 year course), with the intention of natural progression from that onto HND Music Production, then the one year conversion to a BMus (Bachelor of Music) degree.
If you're over 21 though, you can do a TBCap, which is basically the 2 year ND in Tech. in one year.

You can do a nighttime one as well, 3hours a week. I went for 2 weeks and got bored though

The more I think about doing the course, the more I want to do it… don’t even ask how I decided I wanted to do it in the first place…heres a clue though :chill: But been lookin at course content, sounds pretty good to me, I ll always have this to fall back on as well if things do go pete tong

I knew someone who was producing drum and bass tracks as part of his course… they were amazing

Oh well, soz i dont know much at all that was just the impression i got off richie. Speak 2 him tho.

in simple terms im over 21, I ve got enough GCSEs, 2 Alevels (inc. physics), an HND in Quanitity Surveying (not that that helps) and will have a BSc in Quantity Surveying (hopefully), will that get me on the HND 2 yr course?

YES!

ooo oooo oooo oooo ooo u might have 2 do a summer school thing actually since u have no music background!

does djing/ having played piano for ages not count / being into music technology not count

I think ya might need this silly certificate thing! Its a dead short course! Piss easy and over b4 u no it!

Alright mate, i'm in my 2nd yr of the HND in music production at ncsl college n just wana say that there is quite a lot of group/band orientated stuff but you do get some assignments where you can make dance music. I was lucky enough to start the course the same time as lee and a few other people into dance music and the college is startin to recognise that there is other styles of music that people wana produce besides rock/indie etc and would highly recommend checkin it out

Do i know u?

piano lmfao

kiss it karl just cos u aint got all the fingers to play it!
