**Do you aspire to run your own music label or have a great idea for a music business or project?<br/><br/>Do you want to keep developing your vocational skill? producer, technician or composer?<br/><br/>Do you want to work in the Music Production industry but don’t know where you fit in?**<br/><br/>HND Professional Performance Practice is a programme designed with our industry partners to develop not just your craft at the next level, but also to give you the opportunities and experience of applying your skills in a professional environment ultimately with a view to setting up your own enterprise.<br/><br/>There is a perception that sustainable employment in the Music Production sector is based solely on chance and happenstance – this is not necessarily the case! There are many small to medium sized enterprises thriving, not only in the region but nationally, due to vision, drive and expertise, such as record labels, studios or production companies.<br/><br/>We have spent time consulting with our industry partners to develop a programme that allows you to build on the skills you have, provides an opportunity for you to gain experience applying them in the real world and gives you the understanding to develop and launch your own business. <br/><br/>**COLAB** - We are developing a collaborative approach across all creative disciplines at the college (Performing Arts, Dance, Music, Production Arts, Media, Art & Design, Games Design and Hair & Beauty) to make the best use of our industry spec resources so that you can work within integrated creative teams to fulfil your brief – this could include dancers, musicians, actors, composers/arrangers, production arts specialists, technical theatre practitioners, media technicians. Projects will operate to mirror the collaborations required in the ‘real world’ creative environment.<br/><br/>**Progression** - This programme has a dual progression opportunity – onto a level 6 programme with one of our partnered institutions or straight out into the industry.<br/><br/>You will complete a HNC in year 1 and top this up to a HND in the second year of study.<br/><br/>Please note: Whilst every effort is made to run advertised programmes, this programme will run subject to learner recruitment numbers.
