Music Technology Level 2

Why study Music Technology?

The NCFE Level 2 Technical Award in Music Technology enables learners to develop skills, knowledge and understanding of the music technology industry. It is suitable for learners who are motivated and challenged by learning through hands-on experiences. The qualification will allow learners to gain practical skills in creating music using technology.

The course is incredibly engaging and relevant to 21st century learners and career paths. You will get to work collaboratively and individually across a wide and interesting range of contexts from sound creation for special effects in film to live recording in a studio. 

What will I be studying in Music Technology?

This qualification shows learners how to:

- set up and use a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)

- create a musical project to a specified brief, using audio and MIDI editing tools

- understand and experiment with musical elements in a chosen style

Is there anything else I need to know ?

It is a real bonus if you can play an instrument and/or enjoy making your own music. You do not need to be able to read music for this course.
