Course summary
Our BA (Hons) Music Production course aims to equip the modern musician with the tools for success in professional recording and production. Our state-of-the-art facilities, including our four industry-standard Pro Tools HD recording studios will prepare any promising recording engineer or producer for a career in music production. Our professional equipped studios are based around the latest Apple Mac computers, Mackie and Genelec monitoring and Avid Control 24 control surfaces. Students will be able to use our Focusrite preamps and studio-quality instruments such as TAMA and Sonor drums kits, Marshall, Orange and Blackstar amplification to capture that perfect sound. To complement our recording studio hardware, we have a comprehensive range of microphones including Shure, AKG, Sennheiser and Neumann microphones, to name a few. Each of our recordings studios include separate control and live rooms of various sizes to accommodate any style of music. Our specialist technician team, consisting of Pro Tools and Live Sound experts, will be on hand to guide you to create that masterpiece, not to mention our highly qualified academic team that consists of active musicians, who continually produce work, write and record. Our academic team are on hand to help you every step of the way with one-to-one tutorials and a sensible and relaxed attitude to studio time and lecturer access. During their time here at the Grimsby Institute, students have the opportunity to further develop professionally recognised production qualifications by studying for the Avid Pro Tools 101 course with our in-house Avid Instructor. Our Music Production students will be expected to become active engineers and producers from the very start of the course, contributing to the music scene by taking part in real-world experience by managing our White Box record label.

Assessment method
We believe that demonstrating practical skills is the best way to develop an understanding of production and studio work. Therefore, our programme is weighted in favour of developing and evidencing practical work (recordings, compositions etc.), supplemented by written elements including research into previous practitioners and evaluative comments on practical progress. During all modules, students are encouraged to showcase work-in-progress to ensure that everyone is on the path to success.
