The BTEC specification is not just for students who are considering specialising in music at university or music college and neither are they solely aimed at those with a classical training. Of course the qualification provides applicants for these institutions in Northern Ireland and further afield with the necessary knowledge and skills, but a BTEC in music is a valuable asset regardless of the career path which may eventually be followed. For someone who has talent as a performer, who enjoys composing their own music, who is interested in music technology or who simply enjoys music of any description, Music offers a way to develop their potential and to ultimately achieve a worthwhile qualification. 

Unit 1 - Ensemble Music Performance Techniques (120)

Unit 2  - Practical Music Theory and Harmony (90)

This qualification offers you the chance to work in areas such as Sound Technician, Music Teacher / Coach, Music Therapist, Music Instrument Maker/Repairer, Musician, Singer, Composer, Piano Tuner, Recording Industry, Music Critic, Primary / Secondary Teaching, Arts Manager / Administrator.
