It is a proven scientific fact that studying Music is good for you. It is the only subject in existence that strengthens every part of the brain. Playing and listening to music also releases dopamine, which is the body's ‘feel-good’ chemical – it literally makes you feel better! It also increases your chances of making friends, having fun, and is definitely a way of improving your soft skills, which is something that all Universities and Employers have said are incredibly important. We offer the best facilities in the region, and teachers who have first-hand experience of the music industry. We have a recording studio which you will be trained how to use, as well as a fantastic performance space. We only buy professional quality instruments and equipment. In our faculty we have staff with degrees in Music Production and Music, staff who have signed recording and publishing deals with major record labels, staff who have toured the UK, and staff who work in events management.
Minimum level 5 in five separate subjects at GCSE including GCSE English and a 4 in GCSE Mathematics
The qualification is 100% Coursework based. 5 Units are internally assessed by Shireland Staff, 1 Unit is externally assessed by RSL. All units require a mixture of written work and practical music work. (20%)
