@KevinSargentMus @RegentSounds Oops - meant Denmark St

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@KevinSargentMus @RegentSounds Yes, 4 Regent St. My old man’s first year at Essex Music was there ! Run by David Platts at the time

@expertsleepers @jollyrepairer Didn't know that you were a fellow sax player too Os ! ?

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@Tomothy80 @laurenredhead @RichardNyeMusic @ianpacemain @stuartr_comp Very much so with an M for music in it's name and a few campuses in the U.K.

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@Tomothy80 @laurenredhead @RichardNyeMusic @ianpacemain @stuartr_comp That course in question required GCSE English and Maths as well as being able to fund £10k a year but no mention of musical skills

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@Tomothy80 @laurenredhead @RichardNyeMusic @ianpacemain @stuartr_comp Every year I take on work experience students prior to them attending colleges MT courses - many have problems finding basic chords (2/2)

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@Tomothy80 @laurenredhead @RichardNyeMusic @ianpacemain @stuartr_comp Yet, I know of one major course in London that has no requirement for any musical experience from it's students and makes those claims (1/2)

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@laurenredhead @Tomothy80 @RichardNyeMusic @ianpacemain @stuartr_comp It's impossible to expect students with no prior musical experience to grasp anything like enough skills within three years - that's a fact

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@laurenredhead @Tomothy80 @RichardNyeMusic @ianpacemain @stuartr_comp Courses that take on students with no prior experience in music and promise to make them 'industry qualified' are quite common and immoral

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@laurenredhead @Tomothy80 @RichardNyeMusic @ianpacemain @stuartr_comp The degree courses are the problem ! They're not being honest to the students about the skills needed to stand any chance in the real world

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@Tomothy80 @ianpacemain @stuartr_comp @laurenredhead define "top notch musical understanding" and what genres of music do they produce ?

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@Tomothy80 @ianpacemain @stuartr_comp @laurenredhead Notation is the best way to translate, communicate and learn musical structures and forms. The most precise way to pass it on to others.

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@Tomothy80 @ianpacemain @stuartr_comp @laurenredhead counterpoint, arranging, aural skills, rhythmic and percussive studies, learning to transcribe and re-produce from ear.... etc

[Lester Barnes @LesterBarnes]

@Tomothy80 @ianpacemain @stuartr_comp @laurenredhead From the ground up - keyboard skills, harmony, extended harmony and use of scales and modes, orchestration, voicing, voice leading....
