Music Technology offers the chance to explore alternative job roles within the music industry, from sound or recording engineer to music arranger or composer. Critical listening skills are developed alongside recording, sequencing and composition tasks. Music Technology A-Level consists of two externally-examined papers and two non-examined assessment components, sat in the second year. Music technology, like other forms of technology, advances rapidly. An A-Level in Music Technology provides opportunities to embrace recent developments in the field, equipping students with a skill set that will enable them to progress to higher education, or directly into the workplace. There are many career possibilities for those proficient in Music Technology, from sound engineering and record production, to film and computer-game composition.
In order to proceed automatically to the Sixth Form, a student must achieve a minimum of six (1)GCSEs at grade 6/B, and in most cases, a grade 7/A or higher in the subjects chosen to study at A-Level. A-level mathematics and Further Mathematics have higher requirements. Subjects that are new at A-Level will have requirements from (1)GCSEs that assess appropriate skills, e.g. Economics requires a grade 7 or higher in both English Language and Mathematics. It is useful to have taken (1)GCSE Music to progress to A-Level Music Technology.
