Small class sizes ensure that each individual is catered for and our expert music staff will be able to focus on developing your strengths and support you in achieving your individual aspirations. There is an extensive programme of extra-curricular music activities (both choral and instrumental) offering many opportunities to develop performance skills. Instrumental tuition is available on most instruments with a team of specialist visiting music teachers. A particularly unique aspect of music at King’s is the Cathedral, which provides pupils with an inspiring and uplifting performance venue. What will I study during the course? You will focus on three main areas: Performing, Composing and Listening & Appraising. There are various options within the performing and composing units which will allow you to work to your strengths. The Listening & Appraising unit contains the study of set works and set topics from a wide range of genres.
You need to be able to play an instrument and/or sing to at least Associated Board grade (5) standard and have a good musical ear. It is useful to have some knowledge of keyboard playing and have a 6 / B at GCSE Music. If you have a talent and real passion for music, this course would help get the best out of you – whether you intend to follow music as part of your career path or wish to develop this into a life-long interest.
You will be assessed on your skill of aural awareness, analysis and essay writing.
