Music

Course summary

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.
