| Course: Creative Music Technology Degree |
| Interesting Fact: I’m a guitarist in the
official College band M*101 |
Hello. Many of you may have seen me at
gigs around town but I’m also doing a degree up at High
Melton.
The course is going quite well. I love music
and am very at home in a studio so I really enjoyed the first year
and am very much looking forward to the final year. This year is a
bit different because it’s more about dancing. If you would have
told me a few years ago that I would be dancing for a degree I
wouldn’t have believed you.
I live in Doncaster so I don’t actually live
on-site at High Melton but everyone seems to get on well. I know
some people have had problems but they still look happy and have a
good laugh. And everyone on the course gets on well with each other
– and the tutors. Our tutor Nigel Pease is brilliant.
The course is definitely helping my music away
from the College as well. We’ve been in the band for about two
years now and it’s going well. We’re playing gigs all over the
place and we’ve just played alongside Beverly Knight at Mayfest in
Sheffield. Thought I better say Beverly Knight instead of Bucks
Fizz.
We’ve played at the Hub a couple of times and
the students have been brilliant. Some of them have even seen us
for the first time at the College and then gone to watch us in
town. You can hear our singles at www.myspace.com/m101.
Thanks for reading.
