As a HCM Music Diploma student, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in a range of activities designed to give you first-hand insight and understanding of the modern music industry.
There will be chances to participate in songwriting and performance masterclasses, Q&A sessions with artists, managers, music executives, technical wizards and instrument manufacturers, backstage tours of gigs and festivals, and trips to West End shows. There’s a £100 fee to pay at the beginning of your course which contributes towards your trips and activities throughout the year… but you’ll agree it’s worth it when you see what we’ve got in store for you!

- A backstage tour of V Festival and Wireless Festival
