BTEC Music and Music Technology year 1 students were set an assignment to produce a remix of a TV theme tune. They were given the melody line and chord progressions as well as a handful of samples to start with. They then used Logic software to create their remixes. All the finished remixes were entered into a ‘TV Remix’ competition where all the students listened to the tracks and voted for their favourites in a number of categories. The winners received certificates and prizes including music books written by Paul White, editor of Sound On Sound magazine.
