Music

Course summary

This course investigates, analyses and evaluates Music and its features. Pupils will learn to perform, compose and appreciate different types of music, developing critical and creative thinking, cultural, aesthetic and emotional awareness, and the ability to make music individually and as part of a group. Pupils are encouraged to take a more holistic view of their knowledge, performance and compositional skills. Ideally, pupils should be confident performers, able to play or sing at Grade 5 level by Year 11 (with the potential for Grades 6, 7 and 8 in the Sixth Form) and have an interest in, or flair for, composition. That said, if you have a love for music, this is the subject for you.
