A Level music is a course that gives you the opportunity to play, create and understand Music to an advanced level. It is designed to reward students who love to perform, enjoy creating their own Music, and who can appreciate different styles of music. It would be anticipated that A Level musicians would form the backbone of musical activities within school and college. There are weekly rehearsals for the Orchestra, Jazz Band, and Choir. Sixth-form students are encouraged to form their own Chamber and Rock groups. Course Content AoS1: The Western Classical Tradition • The Development of the Symphony (1750-1900). • Haydn Symphony no. 104 (detailed analysis). • Mendelssohn Symphony no. 4 (general study). AoS2: Rock and Pop (1960—2000) AoS3: Into the 20th Century • Poulenc Trio for Oboe, Bassoon and Piano (mvt.2). • Debussy Three Nocturnes (no. 1 ‘Nuages’).
