Access To Music (the country's largest provider of popular music education) are launching a new Jazz based Performing Musician course in Brighton in September of this year. The course is LSC funded, so there will be no tuition fees for students aged 16 - 19, students in receipt of benefits, or those without a full Level 2 or Level 3 qualification and tuition for all other students will heavily subsidised.
Manager Tim Cotterell said, "Brighton has a great jazz scene and it should have an FE course to match. We are very excited to be able to offer this new opportunity, in conjunction with some of the areas top local musicians."
ATM courses require no formal academic qualifications to gain entry. ATM are only interested in musical potential; entry will be by interview. The tutor team will be made up of respected local and national jazz musicians, including Simon Robinson and Wayne McConnell and students will study performing, instrumental skills, arranging, composing, music technology, improvisation, history, theory and aural perception. The course will be running over two days and one evening a week and will lead to a Level 3 Diploma, accredited by RSL.
