Personal Statement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I find audio engineering fascinating. Creating and building audio systems, both analogue and digital, has always been an interest and an aspiration of mine. It is a field of music that combines creativity, science, and maths, which harnesses my mathematical and scientific abilities alongside my musical capabilities and passion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My current course covers many different aspects of the music industry, not just standard performance and production classes. I have undertaken projects, such as helping organise and run live music events, assisting a local community group and performing jazz in a care home. My favourite aspects of music have always been the technical areas – music production and audio engineering. I am particularly passionate about these aspects of music, hence why I want to pursue it further. I enjoy audio engineering and music production because it is the science behind how music is made and how music is heard. I am especially interested in being able to design and build pa systems, mixing desks, and guitar amps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I play multiple instruments including piano, guitar, bass, drums, and tuba. I also have a solid understanding of how these instruments work and how to maintain them, especially electric guitars. I have played in a variety of musical ensembles including my school\u2019s brass band, swing band, and singing in the choir. Additionally, I sang in Barnsley Youth Choir between 2014 and 2018. Playing in the swing band was definitely my favourite experience at school, I learnt a lot about the bass and the music theory that surrounds jazz and big band music. I have also played in popular and jazz ensembles at college and I have done external recitals on piano and bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have played in a couple of bands formed by friends acting as a session musician as given my other commitments I wasn\u2019t able to play with them on a regular basis. I also enjoy going to listen to live music, and regularly attend gigs and festivals, both locally and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I attended Leeds Junior Conservatoire for 2 years from 2020-2022. In my first year I studied performance and production and in my second year I specialised in technology\/production. This was a great experience for me to gain and I learnt a great deal there, especially about production and audio engineering. I learnt how to use a mixing desk properly and efficiently, how to use outboard hardware and the patch bay in the studio, basic synthesis, how to mic up various instruments and set a live room up for recording, health and safety precautions, and how to use pro tools to record, edit and process audio. I continued to conduct my own research on all of these topics after finishing my time at Leeds Conservatoire and I am now very knowledgeable about producing my own and others’ music. I have also become very proficient with DAWs and have a large and in depth knowledge of synthesis and effects through making my own bass music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside of music another major passion of mine is playing rugby. I then started playing rugby for Barnsley and I joined Sandal in 2022. Playing rugby has taught me about teamwork, commitment and has kept me in good physical shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I work part time for Purple Dogs Sales, who represent brands such as Caroline Gardner and Jellycat across Yorkshire and the North East, selling into a range of independent retailers who buy these products. I look after the merchandising in the showroom and have to be responsible to ensure that the products are well displayed. I also do administration tasks, such as data entry on spreadsheets, support meetings at the showroom and help at trade events. In order to complete this work I must be organised, focused and manage my time effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe that studying for a degree in Audio Engineering will develop my interests and broaden my knowledge and experience, putting me in a good place for employment within the field of audio engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
