Music

Assessment

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.
