Music

Assessment

At A Level, we follow a parallel tripartite path through academic studies in Western Classical music (including unprepared listening, analysis and essay questions), composition (a range of creative briefs may be attempted as well as a free composition) and performance (which may include playing solo, playing in an ensemble or accompanying another musician, as well as a combination of any of these). Both composition and performance are examined as coursework submitted towards the end of the two-year course.
