The University of Greenwich is partnering with the British Music Experience to offer a free three-day summer school program for Year 12 students. The program will take place both on campus and at the British Music Experience, and will include trips for research and a final showcase event. Students can choose from three strands: events management, music technology, or video production. The events management strand will plan and coordinate a live showcase event at the British Music Experience. The music technology strand will work on music production and remixing for the event. The video production strand will create films and videos to be featured at the event. The goal is for students to gain experience in their chosen field through practical group projects.
