Cadets from all four Cadet Forces over 16 years of age with an interest in music are now able to earn a vocational qualification equivalent to 4 GCSEs at A* - C level (4 Standard grades at levels 1-3 in Scotland).
The Level 2 BTEC FIRST DIPLOMA IN MUSIC has been designed to develop a basic understanding of music as a profession and combines both technical skills with practical elements and research.
Upon completion, cadets will have demonstrated an understanding of all aspects of performance including solo and ensemble work and how to manage rehearsals. They will also learn how to market, budget, advertise, programme and publicise a music event. Cadets are expected to be able to play a musical instrument prior to enrolling in the course, but do not have to be able to read music. And best of all, it's FREE for Cadets!
