Music

Course summary

It is normal to have taken Music at GCSE level, but not completely essential as long as you can already play a musical instrument to at least a Grade 5 standard, are able to read music proficiently and have an understanding of music theory to a Grade 5 level. The course is based around performing, composing, listening and analytical skills. As well as listening to a wide variety of music to develop a more informed appreciation of how and why it was written and/or performed, you will continue to develop your skills as a performer on an instrument or voice. You will also develop skills in composition with the opportunity to use music software and technology to develop ideas.
