LCCM’s new CertHE Commercial Music is a concise one year Higher Education certificate for modern music makers with optional modules suited to solo vocalists and rappers, electronic and hip hop bedroom producers, ambitious DIY artists and creative executives. The certificate course will allow you to solidify your knowledge ready to embark on your music career after just one year or after trying Higher Education for a year you can decide to stay to complete a further two years of study to obtain a full BA in Commercial Music.
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.
