The A level in Music Technology is a product-based course, designed to equip participants with the skills to record, sequence, and produce music. Useful for those considering a further education courses in music, media, film production, or computer science, as well as anyone embarking on a career as a professional musician. The course covers the full spectrum of commercial music making since the start of recorded music, including Jazz, Film Music, Rock, Pop and EDM genres.
In late January the Director of Admissions allocates House places. At this time as much account as possible is taken of any preference a pupil has stated. In June, three months prior to entry, pupils visit the College to meet with Heads of Department, Housemasters, key members of staff and the Guidance Department to discuss A-level choices and tertiary education options. In August GCSE results are sent to Marlborough. All candidates (Scholars included) must achieve at least a six-grade BS or six 6’s in their GCSEs including English and Mathematics (in practice, most successful candidates will get more GCSEs at considerably higher grades than these). In September pupils arrive to begin their education at Marlborough.
