This course caters for a wide range of musicians and focuses on the key areas of listening, performing and composing. You will study music history through the analysis of set musical works as well as wider listening. You will need to be able to listen critically to music and be able to appraise and demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of the musical elements, musical contexts and musical language.
Entry to Sixth Form is by application and is dependent on the candidate achieving the minimum academic requirement of five GCSE grades at C or above (at least three at Grade B or above). A GCSE Music grade of 6 and above is a requirement. If you have not taken GCSE music, you would be expected to have Grade 5 theory and enter the course with the ability to perform pieces with a minimum standard of Grade 5/6 on your chosen instrument (or voice). Exceptions may be made on consultation with the Director of Music. It is expected that you have a weekly lesson on your solo instrument (or voice) and practice regularly.
