TMS is due to move from its current location in Acton to new premises in Fulham from September 2013.

This will result in the creation o

f specialist teaching facilities in

the new building, Barclay Hous

e. This is especially

beneficial for production stude

nts, who will have access to sta

te of the art production facilitie

s including a live room, two

control rooms, a post productio

n studio, two mixing suites and

four mac rooms, all on one flo

or. The three floors below

production will house the musi

c performance, songwriting an

d music business students, all

owing for easy collaboration a

ll

within the one building. In total

Barclay House will be home to

over 1000 music students. Suc

h collaboration is important,

creating a living music environm

ent, something that most comp

etitive production courses cann

ot offer, which is ideal for a

career as a producer, live soun

d technician, sound engineer, p

rogrammer and sound designe

r.

The new building, Barclay Hous

e in Fulham represents a

£3 million investment for TMS. The move takes place in

September 2013, with the new locatio

n less than two

minutes from Fulham Broadway tube station, and wi

thin

walking distance of several major record labe

ls. Barclay

House is a 5 storey building co

vering some 10,000 square

feet and has been completely redesig

ned, allowing for the

provision of high quality facilit

ies for the Schools’ music

courses. Barclay House repres

ents a unique music centre

of excellence for all aspiring m

usicians, songwriters,

music entrepreneurs and music production

students.

Student interaction

Student interaction is important, and pr

oduction students, songwriters

, performance

students and business students

are encouraged to network fro

m week 1 of the course.

Tech Records is a great example of such netw

orking, with students all workin

g together

to produce, release and promote an EP of ori

ginal material. The Tech Records EP2

is

enclosed, hope you enjoy.

The new TMS building in Fulham from September 2013 is an

ideal setting for enhancing

such interaction even further, w

ith all students housed under o

ne roof, a hub of music

related activity.
