Your Future in
Music Performance and Band Skills
Starts Here
Get in a band, learn the craft, and play live for real. This is where music stops being just a hobby and becomes the first step in the journey.
What Makes Us Different:
- Play live for realYou won't just practise, you'll gig. Rehearse with your band, build a setlist, and perform live, including at Café Indie in town.
- Learn the craftYou already play. Here you sharpen it. Rehearsal technique, stage presence, and the graft it takes to earn the qualification.
- More than a hobbyTake something you love and turn it into more. Real skills, real gigs, and a real next step towards uni, work, or performing for a living.
- A path that leads somewhereOur musicians go on to real careers. Ben now drums for Yungblud. Will signed a development deal with Polydor.
Recording our first single was and a great opportunity. It was professionally mixed and mastered. It has been huge for us, a massive jump in our careers. Poet’s Corner is us now and we want to continue. The only way to go is up. We are doing something people only dream of doing. If it were not for the College, we would not have met, and we would not be where we are today.
