Music technology gives students the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the music industry. Students develop their practical and aural discrimination skills, as well as learning a range of technical skills necessary for recording and creating music. Students learn to use mixing and production software, as well as sequencers and virtual synthesizers. There is also the opportunity to learn about different styles of music and to understand how they work.
Students seeking to join Milton Abbey in the Sixth Form are judged on individual merit regarding their suitability for our courses. Course choices are made in consultation with the Head or Deputy Head, and the Head of Sixth Form. For A-Level students we usually require a B-Grade (Level 6) in relevant GCSE subjects, but we are always open to discuss individual circumstances. We also have a popular range of more vocational BTEC courses, which have more flexible admission requirements. For entry into the Sixth Form, candidates' Admissions Visits will include an interview with the Head or her Deputy, a Housemaster or Housemistress, and the Head of Sixth Form. They will also be given a tour of the school, be able to meet current Sixth Formers, and visit the Boarding Houses.
Ongoing practical and unit-based assessments carried out over the full two years of study to produce a final portfolio for submission. • Combination of practical, work-based assessment, with research and technical understanding. • 33% external assessment.
