Course details
The Music, Management & Sound course at Kinsale College aims to provide participants with hands-on experience, training, information and advice on all aspects of the music industry. To this end, each student specialises in practical musicianship, composition and songwriting, live performance, studio recording, studying music law (e.g. contracts and copyright), along with music marketing and promotion. Course participants also stage live shows throughout the year and these offer the ideal environment in which each student can put to use the knowledge s/he has gained while on the course.
The Music Management and Sound course is also suitable for experienced musicians who intend to pursue a degree in popular music. This would include preparation for auditions/ entrance exams.
The course places a particular emphasis on musical creativity, song-writing and composition. Much of the work is practical and developed in a workshop format designed to foster a supportive ensemble atmosphere for participants.
