Music Technology students learn skills for employment in the industry

Our BTEC students at Strode College are learning to setup guitars, troubleshoot amps and tune drum kits. They are developing skills that help gain work in the live events industry as stage crew, guitar techs, drum tech and sound engineers. As well as this they are learning how to manage and promote music events and develop their own business ideas and portfolios so they are ready to apply for work or a place at University.

We have links with industry including local music shops, studios, venues and festivals. This has resulted in a number of students gaining real work and work experience. Every year we visit the O2 Academy in Bristol to be shown the sound system working. We also visit industry shows and local studios including Real World and Orchard Studios. Here are some of the gigs booked and managed by our students this year.
