Music

Course summary

This course continues the format of study from the GCSE Music course and, as such, is divided between performing music, composing music and appraising a wide range of pieces. Students will learn to perform, compose and appreciate different types of music, developing critical and creative thinking, cultural, aesthetic and emotional awareness, and the ability to make music individually and as part of a group. All styles of music can be submitted for the performing and composing elements. Students will need to be able to follow conventional notation and be able to use notation software.
