Aims of electronic music production
Primarily, the course is designed to focus students’ learning experience as much as possible on the practical use of computer sequencing, MIDI programming and hard disk recording. Whilst the course contains a theoretical component, one of the aims is to give students enough theoretical grounding to develop a basic understanding of equipment operation and in particular the terminology used. This programme can be used as a stepping stone towards meeting the entry requirements of the Audio Engineering Diploma and BA (Hons), Recording Arts.


Who is the EMP course for?
Individuals who wish to pursue careers as electronic and dance music writers and, potentially, producers. The course is also ideal for those who want to brush up or explore further their MIDI, hard-disk recording and sampling knowledge.


Typical jobs for EMP graduatesElectronic music composer; MIDI programmer.
