There will also be plenty of scope to explore your own projects and specialise in the area you want to pursue for a career.And as the life of a music producer is so varied, it will prepare you for work across radio, TV, film, games and theatre too.Throughout the course, you’ll be guided by lecturers who work as songwriters, producers and live performers. In recent years, they’ve included high-profile figures like Nick McCabe, former lead guitarist in The Verve. We also have research-active staff with links to everything from hip-hop to electronic music.Some of the modules focus on the technical skills you’ll need for professional studio environments.
