About the Music Department

Welcome to the Music Department at Glasgow Kelvin College. We offer a range of courses for those interested in developing practical skills in music performance, composition, and sound production. Programmes are available for a variety of instruments and disciplines, including guitar, bass, drums, piano/keyboard, and vocals.

Students have the opportunity to perform, record, and write music in professional environments, with access to lessons in their chosen area and experience playing gigs in venues across the city. Courses also cover music theory, songwriting, aural skills, music technology, and live performance, providing a well-rounded foundation for further study or work in the music industry.

The department welcomes school leavers, adult returners, and those already working in music. Many students progress to higher-level study or pursue careers as performers, songwriters, producers, or instrumental/vocal tutors. At Glasgow Kelvin College, you’ll learn from experienced staff and collaborate with fellow musicians in a supportive and practical setting.
