This exciting, modern course is equivalent to one full A-level. It is hugely practical as it focuses on Music Performance but it also includes Practical Music Theory and Harmony, and Professional Practice in the Music Industry. Designed to support progression to higher education as part of a balanced programme of study, the course gives a broad overview of the music industry, with a focus on performance, including musical skills development, research and professional practice.
Entry to THS Sixth Form is subject to five or more GCSEs being achieved at grade 5 or above, including grade 6s in those subjects chosen for A-level. For alternative qualifications, decisions regarding offers of places will be taken on an individual basis.
Students taking this qualification will study three mandatory units; Practical Music Theory and Harmony, Professional Practice in the Music Industry and Ensemble Music Performance. Each unit is based around a brief that would be common in the industry and allows students to experience realistic scenarios. Students also then choose one option unit from Composing music or Solo performance. 58% of the course is externally assessed, with the remaining 42% being internally assessed.
