Students studying A Level Music will learn and develop skills of listening and appraising and will further develop their performance and compositional skills, as well as their understanding of musical devices, both through the appreciation of the music of others and through their own work. It is a course which is interesting and incorporates music from a wide range of styles, whilst allowing students to perform and compose in their own chosen style. There are many opportunities for performing within the course, and the opportunity to set up a music group if you wish. If you are currently learning and practising an instrument to grade 5 standard (or above), then you are prepared for the performing aspect of the course and could possibly devote more time to the composing and musical understanding aspects of the course.
GCSE Music grade 5 or above, or Music BTEC at Merit or above. Students should play at least one instrument/voice at minimum grade 5 standard.
40% listening and essay-based examination at the end of the two-year course 60% performing and composing, which is assessed in the spring of the second year of the course.
