The course is divided into two main sections – Music Technology and General Study Skills. Music Technology A student applying for a level-4 music technology course should have some previous knowledge of the subject so this section is designed to give you exactly that. It will consist of the following topics: Critical Listening What is Music Production? The Recording Chain The Mixing Desk The Patchbay Multitracking Reason Cubase In addition to lectures there will be supervised and unsupervised studio time. Studio time can be booked anytime during the following hours: Mon – Thurs 9am-10pm Fri 9am-6pm Sat / Sun 10am-8pm General Study Skills Level-4 courses (even practical ones like music technology) involve a fair amount of academic study. Students are frequently required to write essays, conduct research, take written exams and do presentations. At SSR we have found that many of our existing level-4 students have struggled in these areas. This section of the access course covers a wide range of areas all of which should assist you with your future studies. Full details of the syllabus for this section will be given to you during your first General Study Skills lecture.
