Course Outline
The Foundation Certificate is broken into four compulsory units, each being worth 25% of the qualification: Performance; Composition & Technology; Theory & Musicianship; History and Professional Skills. Within each unit the course is further broken down into classes creating a broad basis of musical knowledge. As the course is Foundation level it is OK for students to be more advanced in some areas than others, the combination of large-group, seminar, and 1-on-1 teaching ensures that students will remain engaged whatever their level.
Composition & Technology explores the exciting world of creating, shaping, reworking and capturing sound, whether it is in written or electronic forms. Sound as the medium, in composition students learn various notational methods and expand their understanding of what music actually is. In technology classes, students are introduced to the basics of studio flow, recording and music production working with Logic Pro X and other DAWs. The aim here is that any musician should gain an understanding of the creative process and current technology.

This unit prepares students to undertake advanced performance training in the Diploma course.
