The Eduqas specification is designed to offer contrast and breadth as well as depth of study. All students will study the development of the symphony, engaging with landmark orchestral repertoire, which is important in developing knowledge and understanding of musical elements and language in context. Students will use the musical language of this period to compose one piece of music to a brief. Those studying will also choose one area of learning from Pop and Rock, Musical Theatre and Jazz and one further area of study exploring the musical language and styles from either the early twentieth century or the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
• Grade 6 or above in GCSE Music. • Grade 5 or above in Music Theory is preferred. • Owing to the aural content of this course, students should expect to use their singing voices extensively in class, and being a member of one of the School’s choirs would be desirable.
