You'll explore recent developments in the fields of music therapy, music pedagogy and music psychology, and apply these to your own practice.
musicology
certificates
Music is influenced by the culture that it reflects and everything around it. It is also an influencer, and permeates every aspect of the world that we live in.
In our musicology short courses, you can explore the ways music has interacted with society throughout history, and the role it plays in everyday life. You will discover the interactions between music and art, architecture, literature, politics and social movements.
You can also build your research skills and learn how to develop music research projects in a field of your choosing.
Composition certificates

You'll discover different means of notating musical ideas, as well as techniques for developing musical ideas. You'll explore form, instrumentation and arranging. You'll also create original works and arrangements of existing works.
Music Technology Certificates
Musicians create all the time, and we now have more tools than ever to create music digitally using technology.
In our Music Technology Certificate Short Courses, you'll learn the basics of audio engineering, mixing, and mastering. You can discover how to create your own unique sounds using virtual instruments, synthesizers and MIDI. You'll also create original works, arrangements and remixes.
We also offer courses for musicians and teachers who are less familiar with technology, and want to build the foundational skills to confidently use technology in their daily teaching and performing practice.
musicianship certificates
Musicianship brings music alive by unlocking the foundations upon which our music system is built.
This takes the student from the basics of theory, aural and diatonic harmony, through to complex dives into chromaticism, jazz harmony, serialism and how these are used in award winning popular music.
This discipline underpins all others and shapes our music making whether as performers, teachers or composers
