Leeds Conservatoire is local enough not to have to move away, so I won’t be looking at accommodation for this university.
The courses Leeds Conservatoire offer appeal to me because of how practical they are and how you can study a major and minor course in one year and come out with both in one BA(Hons) qualification.
BA(Hons) Music (Popular with Production)
The requirements for this course are 96 UCAS points from a level 3 study, including one music related subject, an instrumental grade of 8 in one instrument and a grade 5 music theory understanding level, though it doesn’t have to be formally examined as it will be tested in an interview.
The application method for this course is split into two parts:
Popular requires either an in-person audition or a submitted video audition
Production requires a portfolio to be submitted
The course focuses on creating a music career and building an impressive portfolio by offering plenty of performance and project opportunities both within the structure of the course and outside as optional choices.
