London is a thriving city with plenty to do in all areas, from business to fashion.
It has been the starting point for many music artists over the years, including Amy Winehouse, Phil Collins, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin. Whilst many famous albums have been recorded across the city, with some of the most notable being Abbey Road by the Beatles, recorded at Abbey Road Studios, and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie, recorded at Trident Studios.
After having been named the live music capital of Europe, the city is ideal for any aspiring artist. For music students, London offers a large platform to perform and network outside of their courses. From local pubs, to basement open-mic nights, to busking on the streets, there is a fantastic live music scene spread across London.
How can Tileyard help me network?
Tileyard Education is situated in the heart of London, at Kings Cross. Not only do our master’s courses help people to network and connect with others, but our songwriting and music business camps do too. These camps are designed to not only enhance your knowledge and skills, but to help you to connect with other like-minded individuals and form lifelong collaborations and hopefully friendships!
If you want to make the most out of the network and opportunities at Tileyard, we offer one year, full-time masters courses on-site at Tileyard London. Our master’s courses range from commercial songwriting and producing, to music business. We welcome those with both an undergraduate degree in a similar field and/or those with at least three years of experience within the music industry.
