"My fantastic tutors are all encouraging, informative and helpful of the preparation for the different musical paths that you can take." EMILY WALSH, MUSIC STUDENT
Coming to Kingston College was one of the best decisions I have made. With great facilities, the College provides a wide variety of different instruments, DJ equipment, and more. As well as this, I will always be grateful for the encouragement and support I have received from my fantastic tutors who are all encouraging, informative and helpful of the preparation for the different musical paths that you can take.
Kingston College has an extremely friendly environment, and it's been amazing being surrounded by like-minded people who are all working hard towards their future career.
“BTEC courses are very practical and focused on specific skills and knowledge, which I wanted as I prefer hands-on learning. BTEC also tends to have a more flexible structure compared to traditional academic routes, which can be advantageous if, like me, you have other commitments or a particular learning style. I know I will be able to put my music qualification to good use within a primary school setting.”
Katie gained D*D*D*, the highest grade possible and equivalent to 3 A* at A Level giving Katie the maximum number of UCAS points for university. Katie is now studying BA (Hons) Primary Education at St Mary’s University.
BTEC Music student, Timothy de Jose, has created a jingle for Radio Jackie! Pets on the Parade, a pet shop in Tolworth, contacted our Creative Industries team to ask if they could recommend a student to transform their radio advert into a catchy jingle. Programme Leader – Music Practice, Caroline Hall, knew just the student for the job...! Tim travelled to the pet shop, wandered around and created what can now be heard on the radio. Caroline said: “Tim has a real talent for this and he’s now in touch with Radio Jackie for advice on how he could do this for a future job!”
