Key Summary

    About : The Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) in Commercial Music focuses on the practical and theoretical aspects of the music industry. You'll engage with various genres, develop your creative skills, and learn about music production, performance, and marketing. This course is structured to enhance your portfolio while fostering a deep understanding of the commercial music landscape.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can find opportunities in music production, sound engineering, performance, and music marketing. Career paths may also lead to roles in live sound, studio work, and talent management within the vibrant commercial music sector.

This new course combines the best knowledge and expertise from LCCM’s long-running music performance & production degree but with less emphasis on music theory and original instrumentation. The one-year programme combines a core module learning music programming and gaining important industry knowledge with optional modules in vocal performance, songwriting, artist development, music rights, the streaming economy, digital trends and mix concepts. The optional modules are almost all cross-programme enabling you to meet and collaborate with peers on the other music and music business programmes at LCCM.
