Course summary

We deliver the AQA A Level Music course. Students develop and apply their musical knowledge, understanding and skills set out in this specification. Students form a personal and meaningful relationship with music through analysing a range of different pieces. The specification allows students to develop particular strengths and interests, encourage lifelong learning and provide access to higher education and university degree courses in music and music-related subjects. The subject content is divided into three components: Appraising Music (40%), Performance (35%) and Composition (25%). Appraising Music covers areas from Solo Baroque Concerto, Romantic Piano music and Music for Theatre.
