Reflecting the Conservatoire’s expertise in the areas of composition and music technology, Music Technology is a first study area designed for musicians who want to specialise in creative uses of music technologies. Whether you are an undergraduate or a postgraduate, this area will allow you to develop your creativity and skills to professional level using our state-of-the-art facilities.
You will be offered tailored tuition throughout your study in your specific area of interest, as well as training in core skills such as studio and sound recording techniques, electroacoustic composition for fixed media, synthesis, sampling, production and music for the moving image. A programme of masterclasses with industry professionals will supplement your individual training and you will have the chance to share ideas and discuss topical issues with your colleagues in group activities.
There is a strong focus on the real-time interaction between performers and computers and you will be encouraged to collaborate with performers in the creation of interactive works to be performed in our unique live electronics performance venue, the Recital Hall.
The combination of our specialised performance venues and professional music technology facilities is truly unique among conservatoires and surpasses those available at most well-equipped universities as well.
