The aims and objectives of the course are to enable students to: - Develop performing skills - Develop composing skills - Develop and extend the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to communicate effectively as musicians - Develop knowledge and understanding of a variety of instruments and styles - Reflect critically and make personal judgements on their own and others’ music - Engage with, and extend appreciation of, the diverse heritage of music in order to promote personal, social, intellectual and cultural development. Each student is required to perform and record a recital of solo and/or ensemble music in front of a live audience of at least two people. Students must submit two compositions of a combined duration of 6 minutes. The examination component of the course focuses on developing listening and appraisal skills through the study of music across a variety of styles and genres.
Although GCSE Music is beneficial, it is not a prerequisite of the course. Students must, however, have the ability to read and understand written musical notation in at least two different clefs, and should be of at least an ABRSM (or equivalent) Grade 5 standard on their chosen instrument.
The A Level course comprises three components which are all externally assessed: Component 1 Performing. A non-examined component, 30% of A Level Component 2 Composition. A non-examined component, 30% of A Level Component 3 Appraising. An examination paper
