Music

Course summary

A-Level music is a highly rewarding option for those who have a love of performing, composing, and for those who wish to extend their knowledge and experience of music generally. The course aims to broaden performing skills and develop confidence in composition whilst fostering an understanding of the development of music from the 18th Century through to modern popular music. It is also designed to create independent learners with critical, reflective and enquiring minds. Students develop a knowledge and understanding of a wide variety of styles from the classical era to impressionism, expression and neo classical works, as well as more modern styles such as Musical Theatre and Rock and Pop. Students take three components and can tailor their course to some extent to match their own skills.
