What will you learn on the BA Music Performance and Industry programme?
Thinking beyond genre
BA Music Performance and Industry course considers music from two perspectives: music for the people, with its dazzling array of genres and sub-genres; and secondly, music of the people, such as traditional music, folk song and global roots music. Types of study on the BA Music Performance and Industry are not bound by music genre and celebrates musical difference as a strength, enabling students to collaborate, compose and perform in truly unique ways.
Performance opportunities
Students will study in small groups with tutors and mentors from TL and across the music scene to create and perform in a range of settings. The ability to communicate music onstage or online are core values. All students will learn production skills and be able to record, manipulate and publish their work.
Industry insights
The programme is industry-facing from the outset. BA Music Performance and Industry defines the Music Industry as the processes, structures and organisation that bring the artist together with their audience. Traditional industry structures are evolving; musicians need to understand rights, the law, management and deals, and how to be a change maker in the music industry.
