On London's South Bank, the London Centre of Contemporary Music is the first centre for career musicians that brings together: performance and production in education; making music for recording, performance, film and television and gigs. Its degree level accredited courses are for musicians who are looking for a complete education, for example guitar, bass, drums, keyboards or piano as a first instrument with audio technology and modern composition as core subjects. There are specialist programmes for seasoned professionals who are looking to enhance specific technical skills. There are also short, individualised courses for professionals wanting to change career from performer to film composer for example.

The College puts on inspirational gigs with celebrated guest artists. It hosts clinics and master classes featuring luminaries who have helped to shape modern music.

Unlike any other of London's music schools or colleges, LCCM is a centre for making and discovering music in a creative and welcoming environment. It draws on London's unique cultural mixture and honours London's anarchic reputation be it for punk, jazz or experimental electronic underground.
