Summary
Train in live and synth/sample-based music for moving image productions.

You will graduate with a number of credits which can include fiction, animation and science and natural history films, television and games.
Oscar winning NFTS Graduate Dario Marianelli - "I didn't just learn about music in films: I learnt to collaborate and communicate with film-makers, in a very fruitful and stimulating way."
We offer a flexible curriculum adaptable to our students’ individual needs, with access to individual music suites, recording sessions with live musicians and education in business, legal and professional skills.
On graduating, you’ll be qualified to take on all forms of work in film and television, as well as productions in multimedia and interactive programming.
Course Facilities
You will have access to your own composing cabin which will be your exclusive studio space. Our 20 composer studios are equipped with Apple Mac workstations running Logic, Sibelius and ProTools. We also have a dedicated Music Recording Studio for recording live music.

You should normally be able to notate the music you wish to be performed acoustically, have an understanding of the main historical styles and be able to communicate with others using non-musical terms. It is essential that you have a strong and demonstrable interest in film. If you have any questions, please email info@nfts.co.uk. |
