Music

Course summary

Music is a very well-regarded academic subject, often valued highly by universities and future employers alike. It offers pupils the opportunity to build on their performing skills, develop their compositional potential, and extend their ability to appraise a wide range of great music through their studies. Exploring connections between the three disciplines of performing, composing and appraising/listening helps inspire creative ideas, develop evaluative and written skills, and contextualise the music that we perform. Lessons offer the opportunity to study set works in detail, develop critical listening skills and contextual understanding, explore a wide range of compositional styles, alongside rewarding performance skills in the final assessment.
