Music

Course summary

There is much music making at Bancroft’s School with a huge variety of settings and repertoire. For those students who wish to explore music in a more analytical context, the A-level course provides students the opportunity to do this in a complimentary way to the Co-curricular programme. The study of music gives us insight into a composer’s thoughts in the act of composition and helps us to understand, through the use and exploration of musical elements, what a composer’s intentions were at the outset. It also gives us an awareness of the elements that are used in music to create emotion and effect. Music lessons are taught by a variety of teachers who guide you through different components of the course.
