Introduction I am interested in music, technology, games, and computers and have a large knowledge base for the aforementioned subjects. I also like to play piano and guitar among other instruments. I am currently studying Music Technology for the fourth year, which is my first year at degree level. The course I am enrolled on is the BSc Music Technology and Film Production at Staffs University in Staffordshire. After completion of this course I am hoping to have a career in the audio for film/TV field of work. I grew up in Oldham a borough of greater Manchester, and spent a large amount of my leisure time in and around Manchester city centre. My senior school education was spent at Kaskenmoor High School in Oldham between September 2000 and June 2005. My college / Music Technology education started with a yearlong First Diploma Music Technology course at MANCAT College in Manchester City centre, which followed quickly by a Nation Diploma in Music Technology at the Same college institution. My current standard of education is degree level, where I am enrolled on the BSc Music Technology and Film Production course at Staffs University in the Staffordshire town of Stafford.
