Music

Course summary

'Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent' Victor Hugo. A love of Music can be deepened by investigating its mystery. Music is kind of like part art, part science. It helps students build skills in problem solving, research, planning, analytical and critical thinking skills, as well as developing creative confidence. Through the practical aspects, you will improve your discipline, composure under pressure, time management, communication, team and individual working ability. You might also learn technical skills through using computers, equipment and software to create and record music. Over two years, students of A Level Music will begin to unravel the story and power of music by studying a range of masterpieces from composers such as Bach and Berlioz to The Beatles and Kate Bush.
