The OCR AS-level in Music requires learners to develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding of musical elements, musical contexts and musical language, and allow students to apply these, where appropriate, to their own work when performing and composing. We study in depth some cornerstones of Western Music, as well some more avant garde work, from a variety of traditions and genres.
You do not need to have taken GCSE music, or to have done any grades on an instrument or voice, but you will need to be able to demonstrate that your practical and theoretical knowledge is of the required standard.
The OCR Specification is followed. The A-level Specification allows for room to specialise as either a performer or a composer. You will study EITHER Pathway A or Pathway B, according to your strengths as a musician, and a listening exam based on the areas of study from the course.
