Cadets over 16 years of age with an interest in music are now able to earn a vocational qualification equivalent to 4 GCSEs at A* - C level.
The BTEC First Diploma in Music programme has been designed to develop a basic understanding of music as a profession, and combines both technical skills with practical elements and research.
Upon completion, Cadets will have demonstrated an understanding of all aspects of performance including solo and ensemble work and how to manage rehearsals. There is also the opportunity to learn how to market, budget, advertise, programme and publicise a music event. Cadets are expected to be able to play a musical instrument prior to enrolling in the course.
