STUDENT PROFILE - ALICE

Alice is studying the UAL Extended Diploma in Music Performance and Production.

“Coming to The Henley College was like a new start and a new environment. The course really felt like something I wanted to do as I’m always listening to music, song writing or practicing. I like how the course is based on group work and if you’re nervous about trying new ideas you’ve always got people there with you, but equally you can be an individual. When I have completed the course, I want to go into the music industry to write and perform my own music.”

Alice came to the College from Little Heath School.
