The course aims to encourage students to extend their abilities in all aspects of music, namely: performing, composing and appraising. Through the study of diverse set works alongside ample opportunities for practical music making in school, students attain a wide breadth and depth of understanding of all matters of music. The A Level in Music can lead to further study in Music or Performing Arts. Equally, this subject is often a secondary component in either Arts or Science-based courses. Career possibilities for musicians are as varied as the subject itself. Employers value musicians as good team players, as people capable both of understanding and interpreting complex instructions and of learning and using precise technical vocabulary. A surprising number of doctors and lawyers have music in their academic background.
• At least 5 GCSEs at either 8 or 9 and three grades at 7. • GCSE grade 8 or 9 in your chosen A Level subjects. • GCSE grade 7 or above in Mathematics and English Language. • For two science A Levels, or Maths alongside science, at least a grade 8 will be needed in both subjects. A love of music! Also, a genuine interest and desire to study and analyse music at an advanced level. We expect pupils to have achieved at least a grade 8 at GCSE or an equivalent level via their individual instrumental/vocal studies. To access high marks for performance, students should be at a good grade 8 level by the end of the spring Term of Year 13.
