Coleg Menai's Music Department has long been known for nurturing musical talent, but it’s their embrace of Mac that has truly set them apart. With a fleet of Mac's running industry-standard software like Logic Pro and GarageBand, students are provided with the tools to compose, record, and produce music at the highest level.

MCC Digital has played a pivotal role in helping Coleg Menai College enhance its digital capabilities, particularly in the Music Department. Through providing the college with their state-of-the-art Mac suite and tailored software solutions, MCC Digital has empowered both students and tutors with their creative processes. ​
​
Technical Coordinator, Chris Brockley explained why the college chose MCC Digital to help with the digital transformation: "MCC Digital have always delivered what they promised." "It is very easy working with MCC Digital, they are my supplier of choice."

For the music production students, the transition from traditional instruments to digital platforms has been made seamless with Macs, allowing them to take their compositions anywhere; whether in the studio or on the go, students can continue to refine their work, collaborating digitally with other musicians and producers.

One student said, "Without Mac, i wouldn't be able to explore different features and basically, i wouldn't be where i am right now without them."

As a result, Rhodri Wyn Owen believes the students are now well-positioned to explore their creativity in a progressive learning environment.
"Using the Macs, future-proofs the students for industry because they use the same Macs in the industry."
