Music is a highly regarded academic subject that helps develop numerous transferable skills, popular with admissions tutors at Oxford, Cambridge and other leading universities across the UK and beyond. Fundamentally, A Level Music affords you the opportunity to develop and apply musical knowledge. The course encourages you to engage critically and creatively with a wide range of music and musical contexts, in turn allowing you to consolidate and expand upon strengths and interests personal to you. Most pupils who choose A Level Music will also have taken GCSE Music, but those whose experience lies elsewhere (e.g. as a performer) will not be disadvantaged. A keen interest in a variety of musical genres, together with a secure knowledge of music theory and notation, is essential to success.
Sixth Form candidates are expected to achieve strong GCSE grades across the board. As a minimum, pupils should gain a 7 or above at GCSE in the subjects (or relevant subjects) they hope to study at A Level or at Higher Level within the IB. Particularly at A Level, that requirement moves up to an 8 for either Maths or any of the three traditional Sciences.
