Music (Production)

Overview

In your first year you will receive an essential grounding in sound recording and processing, composition, performance and musicology. You will be able to discuss all your musical activities with your fellow students and the teaching staff to get the constructive feedback that will help you develop.

You will be taught by some of the leading figures in today’s contemporary music: sound designers, composers, performers and producers. They are all active in the music profession, with strong connections to the music community in London, the UK and across Europe. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with them, working together on a wide variety of creative projects.

The music facilities include a fully sound-proofed recording studio, performance spaces for rehearsal and performances, and practice rooms equipped with keyboards, drum kits and amps. Access is available to an editing suite with Mac computer workstations where you can work on your music using industry-standard music-processing software.

In addition, you have the advantage of Brunel’s close location to London’s exciting music scene for planned trips to studios, shows, concerts and venues.
