A student who has reached the stage where consideration of music is an A Level option will already have established a strong connection with the subject. Students who intend to continue their instrumental lessons should certainly consider the potential for gaining a formal academic qualification as a result. Music is also an extremely enjoyable activity. The A-level Music specification enables students to extend their knowledge and understanding of music, to create and develop their own musical ideas and to demonstrate technical, interpretative and communication skills through performing music. This three-component course helps students to develop aural, theoretical and analytical skills and enables them to explore a significant set work and an area of study selected to suit their preferences. They can choose to study compositional techniques, to create music which draws on their own experience and enthusiasm or to arrange a given piece of music. In their performances, students can present solo and ensemble pieces and can work with music technology.
Students are required to have completed the GCSE (Year 10 & 11) Music Course or have attained a grade 5 or above on any instrument or voice.
The Level 3 Advanced GCE in Music is 100% externally assessed and consists of one written paper and two non-examined assessment components. Students submit their non- examined assessment (NEA) and complete the exam in May/June in the year of certification.
