breaking creative boundaries
Performance, production and creativity abound in the Music and Performing Arts department at Truro and Penwith College. Whether choosing to study a creative A Level or taking the dedicated Extended Diploma options, our professionally-focused courses are designed to equip students with the skills, experience and friendships to take their studies to the next level at university or to embark on a career in this popular sector.
Our creative Music and Performing Arts Academy helps to promote the development of practical skills while also giving an opportunity to work and collaborate with the wider artistic community of Cornwall.
The dedication, experience and industry-related skills of the teaching team, combined with up-to-date resources and highly talented students create one of the most accomplished Performing Arts departments in the country.
