Hide-The aim of this course is to develop the musician's ability in the areas of performance and musical awareness and to further enhance their skills through music technology and computer applications. This course will thoroughly prepare you for the thriving professional and creative world of music today.
Music, nowadays, is a rapidly diversifying area. At a performance level, today's musicians operate within a wide variety of musical styles and approaches. In addition to the ever-important areas of performance and musical ability, new skills have been added, in particular an understanding of how technology can assist the musician in the studio and on the stage, in creative and rehearsal situations.
Music Performance is one of the most innovative courses on offer at Kylemore College MTC. Designed for imaginative musicians there is a lot of flexibility in the course, allowing you to realise your creative potential in various fields, whether it be song-writing, composition arrangement or performance in a wide range of musical styles. At every phase in the course, you will be encouraged to make artistic use of the latest technologies in sound recording, mixing, sound design, live performance, computers. By the end of the course you will be a well rounded performer, fully versed in the use of industry-standard hardware and software.
As a student at Kylemore, you will not only be able to realise your creative ambitions with expert teachers, but you will also meet other students from all areas of musical life, and work with other enthusiasts on collaborative projects. There is much emphasis on practical experience and structured tuition, with timetabled classes, studio sessions and regular assignments/examinations, but there is also plenty of opportunity to work independently in the recording studio. Basic music theory, aural and keyboard skills are taught, knowing that many applicants will not have formal musical training, and that classical musical training does not provide all the skills needed for work in popular music. Additionally, you will be encouraged to produce work that is both innovative and individualistic.
