Shania Harding Music Technology HND Level 5 “I decided to study at the College a few years ago, because I wanted to become qualified in music technology as well as wishing to expand and develop my skills on the subject. Until that point, my only music technology knowledge was GCSE Music at school and having bass guitar lessons. After completing the level 3 course at the College, I knew that I wanted to learn more about the subject. I decided to study the HNC because I had already built a great relationship with the tutors, but also because the course was solely based on course work and that suited me completely. The course had a wide range of units that covered multiple areas of the music industry and I thought that I would learn a greater and broader range compared to other courses I had looked at. For example, the course at Worcester was mostly based on EDM production, which for me wasn’t worth the investment. After completing the HNC I moved onto the HND to continue my progression in the subject. Next, I plan to pursue an apprenticeship or work within the music industry. Overall, I would recommend the course because the staff are great, which is important when you are studying at this level. I have learnt many new skills that I can use in my future career, which could include live sound ranging, front of house engineer, monitor tech, studio engineer, producer or even radio broadcasting. I have developed so many skills and feel like I now have a greater chance to go into a professional career in the music industry.”
