MUSIC FOUNDATION

This course is designed to prepare you for progression into competitive Music programmes at Music Conservatoires and challenging University Music programmes. We have two music streams: Performance: aimed at the more classically trained musician. You will work towards entry into university, conservatoire or music college. Technology: aimed at the more pop-based contemporary musician who has had some experience with music technology. Students will work towards entry into music tech colleges and pop music courses. This carefully crafted course will empower you to refine your skills as a well-rounded musician, while broadening your musical knowledge and understanding. It will give you unrivalled breadth of content, while allowing you to focus on your main music specialty. In this competitive world, musicians must not only be superior performers, composers, or producers. They must also have excellent knowledge of and ability for history, music theory, aural skills, and research. All students benefit from knowledge of music production as well as the computer software and equipment involved. Composition classes contribute to the overall education of all music students. At CSVPA you will be given the opportunity to undertake extensive preparation for entrance auditions and examinations. All students receive two individual lessons each week with a specialty instructor on their main instrument or area of study. This one to one time is part of the incredible amount of individual attention each student receives during their academic and practical studies, in addition to assistance with applications. At the end the year upon successful completion you will be awarded the UAL Level 4 Professional Diploma in Performance.
