Music is an academically respected subject that can facilitate places at top universities, including Oxbridge, in any course including Medicine, Science and Engineering. If a pupil is Grade 6 on an instrument or voice at the start of the course, they can access the highest band of marks for performing. This amounts up to 35% of the A Level course, giving a substantial foundation to achieve a top grade. Those taking Music in the past have achieved on average a grade higher in Music compared to their other A Level subjects and as a result significantly improved their prospects for the university of their choice. Extra trips are available to those studying the course, such as those to live gigs and orchestral concerts, including backstage tours and meeting famous musicians.
GCSE Music is useful, though by no means essential. Pupils need to be able to perform to a good standard (Grade 6 would be a guideline) on a solo instrument or voice. Grade 5 Theory would be valuable but again is not a requirement.
