Anyone who is interested or who enjoys performing, composing and listening to music. This course is also essential for those who are considering pursuing further studies in music at university. The department offers after school support sessions for composing, listening and performance, often on a one-to-one basis, for students aiming for A*. In addition, trips to concerts of relevant works will also be arranged. Compulsory College choir (once a week) is an invaluable way of improving aural skills.
All Salesian College students must achieve at least five 9-5 grades at GCSE; including a 5 in English and Mathematics. Additional Entry Requirements: 6 in Music or Associated Board Theory and Practical Grade 5
Performing (35%): You are expected to perform for at least ten minutes in front of your teachers, who will record your performance. You can rerecord your performance if it all goes wrong (but you have to do all 10 minutes in one continuous take). The standard you are expected to be at is roughly Grade 7. Composing (25%): You will write one free choice composition (worth 12.5%) and one chorale in the style of JS Bach (worth 12.5%). Appraising (40%): Just like GCSE, you will study a selection of set works across a variety of styles. These, as well as unfamiliar pieces, will then be examined through a mixture of listening questions and essay questions.
