Music

Whether you want to be behind the mic or behind the glass in the studio, our courses offer the perfect grounding to enter the music industry as a performer, musician or sound engineer.

You’ll learn all the skills you need to go on to higher education, or break into the music industry, under the watchful eyes of our tutors, who’ve done both.

Our courses are designed to suit a wide range of musicians from drummers and guitarists, to vocalists and brass players. You will learn about the history of popular music, the music industry, music theory and music production, whilst being encouraged to compose and perform in genres of your choosing.

The Lincoln College music course has a very high acceptance rate into music colleges such as BIMM, Goldsmiths & Leeds College of Music. Past students are currently pursuing a multitude of successful careers including session work, touring, journalism & production.

You will be based in our own dedicated performance space which has a 180-seater theatre, dressing rooms, dance studios, rehearsal rooms, recording studio, MAC suite and technical theatre workshop.

You can use our Career Coach to research roles in your area of interest, including job opportunities and earning potential.
