The modern musician needs to have a complete skill set and that includes having a working knowledge of music technology.
Here at NMPAT we can take you through the exciting new Music Production grades; these go from 1 to 8 just like on a traditional instrument. On completion of a Rockschool Music Production grade, every candidate will own a wealth of technical, practical and theoretical knowledge that they can apply to real-world scenarios – whether it’s in audio production, electronic music production, mixing, editing, mastering or sound for media.
We are pleased to say we are working in partnership with Steinberg, one of the leading music technology companies in music education. This amounts to enrolled students gaining free Cubase software to use at home that works on either Mac or PC.
Our Focusrite 16 channel recording system uses the latest software running on an industry standard Carillon Audio PC. We have a selection of high quality microphones and some great acoustic spaces at our building, which can be utilised to record choirs, rock bands or even orchestras.
To find out more please see the overview below, or contact John Calcott.
As a result of the Third National Lockdown and closure of schools, we are making plans with partner schools who are able to facilitate on-line lessons, and have started work in some of them. We are aware that not all schools will be able to facilitate this, and not all staff may be in a position to deliver lessons. We will provide lessons wherever circumstances allow.
County Group rehearsals and individual lessons will not be taking place face-to-face during the period of the Lockdown. We have reduced the number of County Group rehearsals that we will be meeting on-line. County Group conductors and teachers will share details of on-line sessions with their groups.
We will continue to follow Government guidance when considering options for the future and will return to face-to-face activity as soon as this is permitted.
The NMPAT Virtual Centre is meeting on Saturdays and welcomes any new members or visitors who may like to join us. To register for the Spring Term as a new students please visit use the online form.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support us through this difficult time. We look forward to seeing you all later in the year, and hope to invite you to a performance sometime soon
