Welcome to the Exeter College Music Academy.
All students enrolled onto a music course at Exeter
College become a Music Academy student.
What is the Music Academy?
The Exeter College Music Academy is housed in the
Centre for Music and Performance (CMP) in the heart of
Exeter city. The Music Academy was set up in 2006 as an
additional experience for students studying music at
Exeter College, to provide exciting music opportunities
essential to young musicians progressing into this creative
industry. The Music Academy enhances and works within
the already successful music courses and department
that we have here. Throughout the year you will have
the opportunity to attend
highly subsidised Music Academy trips to live music
and/or music industry events
industry and performance based lectures and/or
workshops from professional musicians visiting the
CMP.
Past Music Academy events have included
song writing workshops
performance master classes
industry talks from music composers, producers &
performers
trips to see live music in Devon, London, Bristol &
Birmingham
Q&A performance sessions from Ex-Exeter College
music students offering insights into their individual
career paths since college and University/
Conservatoire experiences
