This course aims to nurture and develop a lifelong love of music, which is one of the most individual form of self-expression. The A Level will be delivered through activities which combine the three main areas of music: Performance, Composition and Appraisal. Music students are open minded and interested; they have a talent for performance and a commitment to practice, and additional instrumental lessons. Our A-Level musicians are often the backbone of our performances at The Elizabethan, and have helped us to achieve the prestigious Gold Arts Mark Award. Many of our former students have maintained links with us. Course content: • Performance – a short solo recital • Composition – two compositions, one free, the other to a set brief • Appraisal – listen to, study, analyse and research set works from a variety of areas of study. Career pathways: Composing, Event Management, Performing, Teaching.
