Music for the Media is the largest training course for media composers in the world with 700 students in 17 countries. Students wishing to enter the competitive world of writing music for film and television study from home working on real-life professional projects.

This provider yesterday became one of a growing number to have achieved ODL QC accreditation.

Welcoming the news, Guy Michelmore from Music for the Media said,
“This is a big step forward for Music for the Media, recognising not only the quality of the course itself but also the level of achievement by our students and the commitment of our tutors.

Music for the Media is an innovative approach to teaching a difficult creative subject by distance learning. I'm delighted that the ODL QC shares our conviction that we've got it right!

Accreditation will give a significant boost to the status of both Music of the Media and the other innovative and music courses to come.”

The course, written by award winning film and TV composer Guy Michelmore, is exclusively written and tutored by working media composers. Students have gone on to score feature films, TV shows and computer games with many realising their ambition of earning a living from writing music.

Two more music courses are in preparation, the first, on Music and Technology, is due for release this summer.

In praise of the provider Dr David Morley of the ODL QC said,
“Music for the Media is an excellent provider, which has developed an attractive course in a highly specialised area. More important, is the sense of commitment and enthusiasm from the provider, and that professionals are helping to train budding professionals.”
