Over 50 Years of Crafts
Musical Instrument Crafts has been taught at Newark College since 1972. With a global reputation and excellent connections with industry, our students can pursue the craft they love whilst gaining high-quality practical skills from practicing professionals.
The Musical Instrument Crafts department features four separate pathways: Guitar, Piano, Violin, and Woodwind.
Bringing Considerable Skills and Experience
Students have the opportunity to learn the basics with our one-year Foundation programmes or develop their existing skills with our three-year BA (Hons) Musical Instrument Craft courses.
Our tutors bring considerable skills and experience as well as their understanding of current business practice and techniques, making our courses highly valued to students.
Students work in specialist workshops and have the opportunity to make some of their own specialist tools as part of the course. Each year students aim to create a portfolio that can evidence their practical work.
At the end of the course, students can present their work at an exhibition and concert where their instruments can be played by guest musicians.
