Hey folks,

It is that time of year again. Yesterday was the first day that NSCC accepted applications for 09/10.

The NSCC is an access college, which means that the the college accepts applicants in the order that they apply and qualify, first come first served. So for Music Business, if you have a high school diploma or equivalent, the first 30 people to apply, pay the 25 bucks, get the seats. Recording Arts requires a portfolio, Music Arts (which includes the Music Business component) requires an audition.

I teach in all three programs (as well as second year photo ) and they all filled very quickly. Music Business had 89 applicants for 30 seats by mid December.

These are all intensive programs, with high degree of writing and math skills required, especially for the business component in MB and MA. The business component involves research, writing, book keeping, as well as field work at the North End Community Festival, Atlantic Film Festival, Halifax Pop Explosion, Nova Scotia Music Week and ECMA (if it’s not in Newfoundland). You need to be able to write well and research to succeed in the program, as well as feel comfortable wearing work gloves and steel toed shoes and hauling heavy gear. To get the most out of the applied learning, it is ideal for the student to be 19 or older before they come to these programs.

Here is a quick breakdown of the three programs, PM me if you want further information about these programs, especially MB.

Recording Arts:
When you listen to a CD or MP3 player, play a video game, go to a live concert or a nightclub, your experience is enhanced by the quality, timing, volume and suitability of the music and sound effects. This program prepares you for a career as a technically skilled and creative professional, who either as part of a team, or independently, ensures that the music event and sound content are of the highest standard and quality. One year certificate.

Music Arts:
Do you enjoy performing music, possess a fundamental level of musical ability, have developed the skill of reading music, and have an interest in how the music industry works? This program will prepare you to pursue career as a professional freelance musician and entrepreneur in the music business. Two year diploma.

Music Business:
If you have ever watched what is going on behind or beside a stage, you know that there are many more people working to produce a live event than the artists on stage. For a practicing musician, or somebody who thrives behind the scenes, this program will provide an understanding of the inner workings of the music industry. One year certificate.
