For talented music students wishing for a career in music, there is no clear-cut path to take in regards to higher education, and each route has its own benefits. Assuming that a university-level course is in order, there are three main options: attending a conservatoire, doing a music degree or doing a degree in another subject (arts-related or otherwise)

Studying at a conservatoire If you intend to pursue a career as a performing MEMBERS OF CONSERVATOIRES UK musician, there is no doubt that attending one of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama UK’s dedicated conservatoires is a great first step. Here, Leeds College of Music a relatively small number of students receive specialised, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire high-quality training from people who are often well known in the industry. Your fellow students are likely Royal Northern College of Music to be equally or more talented than you, which may Royal Conservatoire of Scotland push you harder – but also leave you in no doubt of the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama work ahead.

On the other hand, this may be a less suitable path for The type of education offered by conservatoires provides those who are not yet fully decided on what they want to huge advantages to students with the right temperament: do within the – or those who do not have those with ambition, a strong work ethic, some idea of the potential to be exceptional performers. what they want from their career and, not forgetting, exceptional raw talent. You may have the opportunity to Studying music at university meet and befriend generation-defining performers in the For those with high grades who might be considering early stages of their careers, gain top-level performing a career in music history or research, a BA from a university rather than the more specialised BMus degree

Trinity Laban’s music faculty is housed offered by conservatoires might be a more appropriate at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich and versatile qualification. University courses often offer a greater variety of study modules than music colleges, allowing students to develop their own interests and tailor their degree courses according to their ambitions and skills. Many universities also house special research collections, depending on the specialisms of the department, so students may have more learning resources at their immediate disposal. Students should research this when applying. If you have any doubts about whether you want to be a full-time performer, even if you know you want to be in the music industry, it could be worth pursuing music at university rather than leaping into conservatoire training. While there will be plenty of performing opportunities at university, these may be fewer and less high profile than they would be at a music college. However, universities do

Warwick Art Centre’s Butterworth Hall The road less travelled

A musician’s development is often assigned two potential pathways – studying music at university or a conservatoire. But what about a third, less-considered route – pursuing your musical development at an institution which offers no music qualifications, but lots of performing opportunities?

‘The nice thing,’ says Christopher Bragg of the Resources and support University of St Andrews, ‘is that none of the musicians The exact flavour of musical life varies from place to place, who take part do it because they have to, because it’s and from year to year, as influential participants come part of their degree. They do it because they want to be and go, whether they are standout performers or talented here, and clearly the demand for what we are offering organisers. ‘The students are quite heavily involved,’ says is very high and growing all the time.’ Bragg is the Lucy Griffiths, assistant director of music at the University concerts, performance and events administrator at the of Warwick. ‘We provide a resource base for most of the university’s music centre, part of a team employed to societies we help to administer – equipment, music and provide students with a range of musical activities and rooms. We also provide them with professional support opportunities: ensembles, tuition, scholarships, tours and through a director and assistant director of music who are so on. professional musicians who can help them with guidance, As he indicates, however, none of the students are leadership and conducting. But the student societies studying music full time – St Andrews stopped offering themselves actually have committees made up of students music as a degree course in 1988.

Performing facilities can be another attraction. The Although music at these universities is extracurricular, music centre at Warwick, for example, is based within that does not mean to say the standard is low.

What Griffiths says about Warwick St Andrews, for example, singing has become a particular could equally apply to others: Universities focus, with a number of student-led a cappella groups and an ‘There are a lot of students who are very good musicians annual opera project giving students the chance to perform but who aren’t sure that music as a degree is the right in what is essentially a professionally produced opera. career choice for them.

But what if you want to start your own group? Be it a duo, string quartet, brass ensemble, choir, orchestra, or any of the myriad possibilities in between, starting your own group will be fun and exciting – but it can also earn you money, contribute towards your degree, and even set you on the path to a professional career

Getting started Universities The first thing to decide is what sort of a group you want to establish and what sort of music you are going to perform. (Student composers are an excellent source for new works, particularly for more obscure line-ups.) Will you all be equal partners artistically and organisationally? Or might an individual take the lead and be the one to plan the ensemble’s development? Is the membership going to be fixed or will the group expand and contract according to the repertoire? Think about how best to attract the sort of members you want, and always remember that students in other years may have different work pressures from you. Perhaps the most important thing to bear in mind is that although most departments should be supportive of extracurricular music-making, you will get a frosty reception if your plans get in the way of official university musical activities. Don’t just settle for the first people to come along and express an interest: it’s worth spending time putting together an ensemble of musicians with shared passions in repertoire and stylistic approach. Most importantly brass quintets, but it is annoying to find out a year down of all, agree between you how much time you are going the line that all the hard work you’ve put into building a to devote to the group – often problems arise because reputation has gone to waste. A thorough internet search some members want to rehearse or perform more or less will be vital here.

It’s worth considering sharing out later at a summer school course the players encountered an the jobs: one person to be in charge of finding music (your established US quartet of the same name and reluctantly university library will be a good place to start), another had to rethink things.

We then move onto ways in which they can tap into their local community through expected to evaluate music. The old joke about tomatoes provides a useful point of comparison: that knowledge.

Wisdom is not putting one in a fruit salad.’ It is well known that many composers, like writers and artists, keep notebooks of ideas that they can collect This resource will help you to understand how the assessment objectives have changed, and will provide you Next, we consider ways in which the internet can be harnessed for music education purposes – from online on the hoof for use at a later date.

Finally, we look at some strategies for preparing for composition. ‘AO3 is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. AO4 is not putting one in a fruit salad.’ Compiling a few imaginary pages from a composer’s notebook can be a great source of stimulus for your students’ holiday composing assignments. There is also an element of puzzle-solving to this approach, which WHAT ARE ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES? All these activities can relate to school work that has been covered before the holiday break, or might be Your planning, therefore, should make sure that pupils know the language first. Once this milestone is achieved, may well appeal to students. Devise a few ideas from scratch, or compile them from existing pieces. picked up during the course of the next term. you can start to frame that knowledge in the context of AO4. The term ‘assessment objective’ is one frequently discussed in teaching circles. Surprisingly, however, I rarely music teaching circles.

It includes an evocative picture, some lines of relevant poetry (also used AO3 in lessons, AO4 in homework WHAT WE DID ON OUR HOLIDAYS in the original), some listening suggestions and a musical extract. There is, perhaps, a simple explanation for this. The assessment objectives in music have traditionally aligned One option for the delivery of AO4 content is to keep AO3 knowledge as lesson content and to treat AO4 with the trinity of musical disciplines – performing, composing and listening. Or rather, what we heard on our holidays… as the basis for homework activities. This is effective because it allows you to make use of simple formative assessment strategies to ascertain whether or not the AO3 knowledge is secure. It also allows you to focus on In the outgoing GCSEs, the assessment objectives are: A typical holiday activity, especially for primary schools, is to ask students to write about or describe for the keeping your limited curriculum time focused on music making rather than written activities. „ Assessment Objective 1: Performing skills – performing/realising with technical control, expression and class an interesting holiday experience.
