A Level music is a fantastic stepping-stone to studying Music at University or, if you hope to study another subject, provides those who study it with excellent skills in analysis, listening, organisation and confidence. Music pupils understand cultural history, self-motivation and develop their creativity; these are attributes that are desirable to all employers.
It is important that pupils are having instrumental or singing lessons and they must be of grade 5 standard as a minimum at the start of the course. They should also have achieved grade 5 theory or be able to demonstrate an equivalent understanding of written notation, key signatures and the fundamentals of harmony. It is essential that pupils continue to practise their instrument(s) regularly throughout the course. They must also be willing to listen actively to a wide variety of music in their own time.
A short recital is worth 30% of the A Level. Two compositions (one harmony exercise and one longer free composition) are worth 30% of the A Level. A listening examination based on the set pieces and pieces related to them is worth 40% of the A Level
