The AQA Music specification followed at the High School involves a varied and engaging programme of study. This three-unit course helps you to develop aural, theoretical and analytical skills and enables you to explore significant set works and areas of study selected to suit your preferences. You study compositional techniques and choose from a selection of free compositional options. In your performances, you can present solo and ensemble pieces and can work with music technology.
Joining the Sixth Form is by interview and on the basis of academic achievement at GCSE. Applicants are invited to interview following a report from their current school indicating their predicted GCSE grades. The likely offer made, following a successful interview, will be conditional on a minimum of 5 A / 7 grades, with A / 7 grades in the subjects to be taken in the Sixth Form.
A-Level Music units include a written examination (40%) testing listening skills, knowledge and understanding, as well as studying music from a selected area of your choice; a free composition (15%) and compositional techniques tasks (10%); a 10-minute recital as a soloist and/or as part of an ensemble (35%).
