Music

Course summary

A-Level Music attracts those who have taken GCSE Music and who have a strong grounding in practical music as well as a comprehensive awareness of musical styles and forms. If you perform to a high level (Grades 6-8), and have a genuine interest in a wide variety of music and how it works, you are likely to gain a great deal of enjoyment from the course and to score well. Music has long been recognised by universities as a valuable entrance qualification and is usefully combined with subjects from the arts, languages or science disciplines. The broad range of transferable skills and techniques oered by the course – such as the need to be able to research a topic, to display analytical skills, self-discipline and teamwork – can help you in pursuing a wide range of courses at university.
