Theory and Composition Diplomas
Music Theory
AMusTCL, LMusTCL, FMusTCL
These three Diplomas all demand a broad understanding of analytical concepts and procedures, and require an extensive knowledge of music history in the Western classical tradition.
The levels
The Diploma is available at three levels:
- Associate (AMusTCL): equivalent in standard to the first year of an undergraduate degree
- Licentiate (LMusTCL): equivalent in standard to the final year of an undergraduate degree
- Fellowship (FMusTCL): equivalent in standard to a postgraduate course at a conservatoire or university
Music Composition
LTCL Music Composition, FTCL Music Composition
Two Diplomas which reward the composer’s ability to respond appropriately to set music briefs, through the application of suitable compositional devices, to create original works.
