This subject is both musically and academically demanding at A Level but is also extremely rewarding. It is a natural choice for students who are competent on their instruments and who wish to gain a deeper musical and historical perspective. Music is constantly evolving, inspiring creativity and expression in a way that no other subject can. As an A level musician, you will have the opportunity to broaden your musical experience and knowledge, and to hone your practical and creative musical skills to a high level.
You will normally be expected to have achieved least a grade 7 in GCSE and/or approximately Grade 5 standard in music performance at the start of the course.
