The Diploma in Contemporary Music Performance (Level 5) focuses on composing, arranging, performing and recording original material, and developing the marketing, business and communication skills every self-employed musician needs. Students will collaborate with other MAINZ students for live performances and recording projects, and create a portfolio of their work and build musical networks.
Graduates will have skills in the application of music theory, analysis and technology to effectively create and communicate musical ideas, and perform at an industry standard commensurate with paid performance work at small to medium sized venues as are commonly found in the New Zealand music industry. Graduates will have knowledge of the music industry and the business of music to apply to the processes involved in entering the music industry.
The programme content includes
Join a band or become a solo artist, work as a session musician or songwriter/arranger for film, radio, television or advertising, become an itinerant music teacher or work in music retail.
