what our students say - simon kenny
“I really enjoyed my time as a Music Technology
student. The skills I learned and the people I met,
both peers and teaching staff, helped me to decide
to start my own company, called Surface Tension.
We’re using what we learned in the course to make
music tech apps for iPad and Android and are very
excited about what the future has in store for us”.
