Anna Stenning knows only too well the difficulties of taking on student jobs and studying, which is why she promotes the idea of gaining temporary or freelance work in order to stand a better chance of securing a permanent job after graduating. By Anna Stenning

The music industry is a notoriously difficult business to become successful in either as an audio engineer, musician, singer or songwriter. The question is whether or not budding music industry professionals should be taking Logic Pro courses at a private college, a state run establishment or teaching themselves in their studio at home.
The music industry is a notoriously difficult business to become successful in either as an audio engineer, musician, singer or songwriter. Time and time again the advice has been to just get stuck in, do it and work ones way up to fame and fortune. In this day and age though, technical ability counts as much on that path to success as creative ability. The question is whether or not budding music industry professionals should be taking Logic Pro courses at a private college, a state run establishment or teaching themselves in their studio at home.
Having been in the music industry for many years, it is safe to say that I have known people who have approached getting ahead in their industry in a variety of ways. Sometimes it depends on the amount of money available, but mostly it depends on determination, and willingness to succeed. There are of course pros and cons for each method. Taking Logic Pro as an example, deciding to teach oneself can be a laborious process, and it may well leave a great deal of clever tips and tricks undiscovered. Self taught people may also find that they are not as competent at applying their knowledge of the programme as those who have had 'proper' tuition.
Having said that home taught individuals will save money and they will have the benefit of learning the programme at their leisure. This way of learning is most suited to those who have a high level of technical ability and want to apply their learning to personal projects rather than put their knowledge to use as a career move. For those who want to pursue a career in the industry, it is necessary to show accreditation or a qualification, which is only available through an educational establishment. Logic Pro courses are offered at both private and public institutions.
Enrolling on Logic Pro courses at a public college or university means that the student will save money compared to studying at a private establishment, but the course will also take a longer time to complete, and the syllabus may not be as comprehensive as a course offered privately. However, for those who can afford private tuition, enrolling on Logic Pro courses this way often means a higher level of achievement is reached because of smaller class sizes, and as the courses are more intensive it reflects the intensity of the industry. Any student that gains a Pro Logic course qualification this way is therefore likely to be a more desirable candidate for a job due to the level of tuition that has been received and because they have demonstrated the ability to withstand the pace of the industry.
