Music offers stimulating academic and practical study, with many cross-curricular elements and links to other subjects such as History, Literature, Languages and Art History. Students study a wide range of music from a variety of genres from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries and incorporating both art and popular music styles. The variety of skills employed includes listening, essay writing, creative organisation of musical ideas in composition, and performance. Such a broad range of disciplines make Music both challenging and rewarding, and it is a valued subject for university entrance.
Grade 7-9 in GCSE Music is desirable, but not essential. Grade 5 or above on an instrument or voice is essential, and a good knowledge of music theory to ABRSM Grade 5 standard highly desirable.
