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.
To enter the Sixth Form, you need to achieve at least six grades 4 to 9 at GCSE or equivalent with at least a grade 6 in any subject to be taken at A level. Please note that we ask for additional entry requirements for some subjects*.
• Performance - Recorded Public Performance (solo or ensemble) 30% (8 mins minimum) • Composition - Two Compositions totalling six minutes minimum 30% (6 mins minimum) • Paper 1 - Set and Unfamiliar Works 40% (2 hrs)
