Course Description:

'' The M.M.S Diploma is our most in-depth course, covering all aspects of modern music composition and production. It is designed for those wanting to master today’s computer based studios and produce music of a professional standard for a variety of outlets.

During the Diploma Course students progress through all of the School’s studios with guaranteed individual practical time throughout.

Learning the creative operation of several studios produces a diverse set of skills, opening up a host of career paths now requiring a combination of software and ’traditional’ studio knowledge.

COURSE OUTLINE »

The course was written by a collective of studio engineers and producers in conjunction with employers in the recording industry. It introduces the studio equipment and its operation in a logical format, focusing on practical skills for today’s industry.
Full / part-time options of either one full day or two evening lectures per week are available in conjunction with unlimited individual practical time to suit your schedule.

Within the course structure there is ample time for experimentation and everyone is encouraged to learn both the technical and creative side of the programming process with their choice of tracks and musical style.

Guest lectures come from leading professionals who share their expertise and experiences in the field. Past topics of discussion have ranged from ’making it as a producer’ to ’the business of music’ - major and independent label / artiste management / copyright / publishing / contracts.

The studios are designed as a stepping stone system through which this course evolves, maintaining familiarity and transferability at the center of each studio.
The introduction of additional sound modules and processors is made logical, gradually moving up in complexity as knowledge and confidence grows.

COURSE STRUCTURE »

Lectures are supported by printed notes, with on site technicians providing further guidance as required. The accompanying CD-ROM version also contains useful software which students have access to towards the end of Module One..
The Course presents students with 7 assessments, mostly of a practical nature, all contributing to a final grading for the Steinberg Diploma qualification. With this stamp of approval from Steinberg (Cubase) and the School’s wide renown within the industry, many graduates have gone on to work at the BBC; local radio stations; commercial studios; production houses; and record companies, whilst others have since received lucrative recording contracts or released material on their own labels.

The unique framework of this course enables students to learn at their own pace and work within their musical taste. Results and grades are discussed individually with the lecturer during tutorial sessions allowing individual problems to be identified and solved.

As the course progresses an audio portfolio of each person’s practical work is compiled. Since ’sound’ is the very nature of the industry, students from the Diploma Course leave with the ability to demonstrate a proficiency and overall grounding in every aspect of the studio with their audio CV. Examples of work that has been mastered and burnt / pressed can then be passed on to prospective employers / record labels - giving instant access to skills and abilities, in conjunction with the official qualification.

* No previous knowledge of MIDI or recording studios is assumed
* Musical ability is not a requirement

TRAINING THE M.M.S WAY »

The learning programme is unique in that it is taught in a purpose built teaching studio, 3 additional studios and programming suites with classes of just 12 students. Elsewhere you are in danger of being lost among 30+ students in a classroom!
The M.M.S Diploma is the only course of its kind giving individual studio practical time on a daily basis - 7 days and evenings per week - with dedicated technical support staff.

As the Certified Steinberg Training Center for the North West, M.M.S. is at the cutting edge, teaching music software as it is launched. Teaching staff are qualified lecturers who remain professional producers working in the Manchester music industry.

M.M.S literally operates from within the industry it serves. Our students can witness first hand, in the building, the day-to-day life of: Musicians / Engineers / Producers / Recording Studios and Rehearsal Rooms / Music Management / Promoters / Record Labels / Record Manufacturing.

Being immersed in a pool of accumulated knowledge and experience is the real value of training at M.M.S. Manuals and text-books, while informative, miss the fundamental point: ’Sound’ must be experienced first-hand to be truly appreciated and understood in-depth.
