Songwriting and Vocal Performance (with foundation year) (NTU London)

This course gives you the opportunity to develop the advanced creative skills, knowledge and technological understanding necessary to succeed as a professional songwriter and vocal artist in a music industry where creative technologies continue to transform the creation, production, performance and distribution of music.

Successful songwriters and artists have routines to help make them prolific. They have a broad skillset including vocal performance technique and the technological know how to be self-reliant, so they write and record their songs before they go to market.

Professional songwriters write all the time, not just when the mood takes them. They hear toplines and can craft interesting lyrics that paint pictures in the mind of the listener. They write songs that cross and blend genres, straddle the experimental and the commercial, whatever the brief requires. They write with others, sparking creativity from their ideas and input; collaboration is always key.
