Choose to study BTEC National Extended Certificate in Music Performance at Brighouse Sixth Form College and get the opportunity to progress to a degree in a Music discipline or a degree where Performing Arts-related skills and knowledge may be advantageous. The course enables learners to develop knowledge and skills needed for entry-level roles related to Music. These could include vocational apprenticeship roles and trainee/entry-level roles, such as roles in administration, instrumental teaching, event management and community arts work. 

Studying BTEC Level 3 Music gives learners the opportunity to formalise and deepen their knowledge, experience and understanding of the contemporary music industry. They will analyse performance practice and incorporate current trends into their own music-making in ensemble settings as well as strengthen their knowledge of the rudiments of music. This knowledge will then be put into practical use in vocational contexts to deepen their awareness of relationships within the organisations found in today’s ever-evolving music industry. Although the course is largely practical, and mostly focused on the performance of contemporary music, 2 units have externally assessed written exams.
