Music is far more than just playing an instrument or listening to pieces: it is a universal language which surrounds us and is part of our everyday life. In A Level Music lessons you develop a greater understanding of how music works and why - studying a wide variety of music. The course is divided into three areas: • Performing (35%) • Composing (25%) • Listening and Appraising (40%) For Performing, you perform a 10-minute recital that is recorded in the Spring Term of Year 13. We provide A-level music students with free instrumental tuition in their chosen recital instrument.
6 in Music plus instrument to Grade 6.
In composition lessons, you learn how to write two pieces of music, one in response to a brief set by the exam board. Both of these compositions are sent to the exam board for assessment. The Listening and Appraising exam tests analysis skills and includes essay questions to assess knowledge and understanding of familiar and unfamiliar pieces of music. We study five areas of music that provide a breadth and depth of knowledge of music from a range of styles and genres: • Baroque Concertos • Classical Opera • Romantic Piano Music • Musical Theatre • Pop Music
