There will be a series of practical assignments varying from informal small group presentations to larger public performances.
Are you an aspiring musician who is looking to create a new single or EPK? Are you looking for opportunities to be able to know how to take control of your content creation and record and perform your own songs?
This course is all about creating a portfolio to attract new opportunities, to rehearse your own original music and gain valuable industry feedback and to improve your own performance and production skills.
You will be getting an insight into artist development through performance activities and analytical problem solving based on your original material. Having a sense of ownership of your creativity and intellectual property is integral in the Music Industry, and we want to harness this methodology and refine the process in which your music is made, produced and performed.
