The WJEC Eduqas A Level in Music offers a broad and coherent course of study designed to allow learners to pursue their own musical interests. Learners develop skills in the three distinct but related disciplines of performing, composing and appraising, whilst having flexibility to specialise in either performing or composing. Learners may choose to apportion 10% of their assessment to either performing or composing as an in-depth study. Students will engage with both classical and popular music. All students will study the development of the symphony, engaging with landmark orchestral repertoire, which is important in developing knowledge and understanding of musical elements and language in context. Students will use the musical language of this period to compose one piece of music to a brief. Students will also choose one area of study from pop and rock, musical theatre and jazz, and one further area of study exploring the musical language and styles from either the early twentieth century or the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
