Music Performance & Production HNC

The HNC in Music Performance & Production is a one-year course designed to provide you with a range of industry-focused skills, knowledge and contextual understanding around music performance, creation, and production. This would naturally lead on to completing a HND ‘second year’, where you can focus on a pathway in performance or production.<br/><br/>The HNC aims to provide you with a well-rounded set of core skills for the modern music industry, set around rehearsal & performance, recording technology, composition and creative skills using DAWs.<br/><br/>Performance sessions will be based around working with others in a band/ ensemble environment, working collaboratively to develop material for a live performance.<br/><br/>Composition lessons will cover music creation skills from a range of backgrounds, from the more traditional theoretical understanding of how music works to using technology and software to create and develop musical ideas.<br/><br/>Recording lessons will take place in our studio suite, allowing you to develop hands-on experience and skills in setting-up, tracking, and mixing recordings.<br/><br/>There will also be a considerable focus on your professional skills, ensuring that you are prepared for finding work in the music industry, managing professional relationships and continuously developing your musical practice.<br/><br/>With these core-skills under your belt you will be in an excellent position to continue onto your specialism on the HND, or to start building your career in the music industry.<br/><br/>Your sessions will take place at Burnley College and other industry standard venues including The Grand, Clitheroe where you will be expected to make your own way there.
