(Stow college is a college in Glasgow, Scotland.) With regards to a Stow music course: In terms of lecturers I got, a few were very good but the majority unhelpful with poor teaching standards. They were fantastic, informative tutors who knew their stuff. The rest of the music course staff should pull their finger out and make an effort. Stow college may be good for other subjects but for music its is one major headache... I would actively encourage potential students to consider other options. I would also encourage the better lecturers to work for a different institution as their talents are wasted in this place! ...  Read the complete review

Stow college music course is a joke.
Learn it yourself on the net cos thats what you'll be doing in a stow college music course.
Waste of bloody money.
one of their lecturers often doesn't show up for classes as well.
Buy pro tools and work it for yourself and buy a book on making it in the music industry and save yourself roughly 900 quid.

Absolute waste of time.

I thought this review was needed to counter balance the other review from the staff member from Stow. Sorry but everything i've heard about Stow has been bad. I know one guy thats done a Computing course there, knows as much as when he started, in fact he thinks he knows what to do and doesnt, meaning he can/does make things worse often. It's also well known its basically impossible to fail at Stow. May be a good point or a bad point depending what your perspective is. However one of the reasons its impossible to fail Stow is that the lecturers often and with the full knowledge of most anyone help students pass. ie ...  Read the complete review

Decided to re-write this, because the old one sucked. Reid Kerr College's Music Performance & Promotion courses are available at three consecutive levels; NC, HNC and HND, and are based at the Creative Arts Department in Reid Kerr's Mile End Campus in Seedhill in Paisley. The course is lectured by experienced professional musicians/ music industry personnel (top 40 singles, Albert Hall performances, 10+years with London Records amongst their collective CVs), offering a wealth of experience to the students there, meaning they learn from more than just dry theoretical text in books. It's always cool to hear a funny or interesting story to ...  Read the complete review

Stow college in Glasgow is a very underrated college once it was well known for engineering but now it have a large variety of courses on offer including music technology, social science to name but a few. It has a great special needs course ran by a really nice guy called Tom Slimming who works wonders with the groups of all ages and varying disabilities. The music technology courses are second to none there is a well equiped recording studio on the second floor where Belle and Sebastian started out. On the third floor there is a Flexible learing studio which the students and staff alike can gain acess to computers if they don't have them at home. The library has an ...  Read the complete review
