Iain Tomlin School of Music
The Iain Tomlin School of Music is situated within the grounds of Merchiston campus at Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland. The school is home to the BMus (Classical) and BA (Popular) Music courses. The courses are taught over three or four years.
The first two years of the BMus course are divided equally between performance and academic study. All students take music history and harmony classes for the first two years as well as a one-hour weekly one-to-one instrumental/singing/composition lesson. Previously, students could focus on performance or research in the final year, however in the 2007/08 session the course was revised with effect in the 2008/09 session. Under the re-write students can now drop performance in 3rd year and study performance practice in 3rd year and then undertake a research project in 4th year. Students following this option will still be awarded a BMus(hons).
