Course summary

Composing for media is often associated with orchestral ensembles and other instrumental music genres. However, songwriting and contemporary production cannot be overlooked as it has been a crucial part of media from the start.

This course will train and prepare you for a career as a media composer or contemporary artist, focussing on the creative and technical skills required to thrive in both industries.
