Course summary

Many of you who enjoy music and allow it to play an important role in your life already have the necessary skills to succeed at this level. These skills are performing at grade 6+ level and the ability to read music fluently in at least two different clefs. The course enables students to set their own agenda rather than follow set topics as in other subjects. Music helps to develop the broader dimensions of the human being – mind, body and soul and can express the inexpressible. This can be very fulfilling and helps us function as human beings – which can only be good for society as a whole. Extend and develop your performing skills through increasing your familiarity and knowledge of the repertoire for your chosen instrument(s). Learn how to write for instrument(s) and/or voices efficiently and how to develop musical ideas within chosen forms and structures. To encourage the development of listening and analysing skills, you will study scores which enable you to understand and appreciate aspects of music related to the Areas of Study.

Entry requirements

Grade 6 in GCSE Music AND performing skills at grade 6 or above (ABRSM, Trinity or Rock School). You must also be able to read treble and bass clefs fluently. We will accept applications from students who have ABRSM Grade 5 Theory and performance skills at grade 6 (ABRSM, Trinity or Rock School).

How you'll be assessed

This is a full linear course so the assessment of your knowledge and understanding of the whole course takes place at the end of two years of study.
