Music

Course summary

Music A-level is an exciting and rewarding course, unique in its combination of academic study and creative opportunity. The Edexcel A-level course builds on the performing, composing, listening and appraising, and music technology skills developed at GCSE and gives pupils the opportunity to engage with, and increase awareness and appreciation of, the diverse heritage of music and to develop critical evaluation skills. A passion for music, the ability to perform on an instrument (ABRSM Grade VII), and basic keyboard skills are important prerequisites for the A-level Music course.
