Course Outline (Year 1 to Year 3)

In case you're wondering what the big picture is for EML's lessons, and what's in store for you from semester to semester, here it is -

If you're a beginner, you can start with the Year 1 programme and we'll guide you all the way from zero knowledge until you create your own original work for the October showcase

If you're already experienced in making music on computers, you can join the Year 2 programme and experiment through specialised projects on synthesis, sampling and effects.

When you've seen it all, you can carry out your own Directed Study in the Year 3 programme (like a thesis, but more fun), and go really really deep into a specific area of electronic music.
