Music

Entry Requirements

A good pass at GCSE would be a good indication of suitability for A Level Music. However, an able performer (Grade 7 standard or higher) with a keen interest in music may well be suitable for A Level without having done GCSE. Consistent work across the three components creates a platform for success, but underpinning the whole process should be an aim for full marks in Component 1. Component 2 requires a boldness to try new ideas as well as respond imaginatively to a set task. Finally, for Component 3, students need to listen to and read about unfamiliar music as well as closely analysing the set works.
