Music at A level is about performing, composing, listening and critical thinking skills. We can adjust the performing and composing weighting (25%,35% or 35% -25%) according to your specialism. You will develop skills in performing and composing in a range of styles and listen to a wide variety of music, learning how and why the music was written and performed. You need a keen interest in creating and listening to different styles of music and become open to broadening your experience and deepening your understanding.
- We require at least a grade 6 in Music GCSE, or we may accept Grade 5 theory, and prefer you to have at least a Grade 5 (or equivalent) practical. Music at this level is highly academic as well as practical, so it is essential that you can the read notation written for your Instrument. While it is useful to have taken music at GCSE level this is not essential, providing you can play an instrument to a reasonable standard and/or have equivalent qualifications. We may ask you to sit an informal entrance test. - At least eight GCSEs (including English (Language or Literature) and Mathematics at a minimum of Grade 6)
