Music is all around us in various forms and barely a day goes by when we do not encounter music of some sort. Throughout our lives our taste in music will change. Studying Music as an A Level can begin to develop an enquiring mind and an insight into this vast subject. For students not intending to read the subject at University but who have an interest in and an aptitude for music is looked upon favourably on a UCAS application since it is a highly analytical and challenging subject. Class sizes are often small so a lot of individual attention can be given.
Our Sixth Form entry also requires an interview with the Heads of Sixth Form, after which a conditional offer will be made and will be dependent upon agreed GCSE grade requirements. Our standard requirement is Grade 6 or above in the chosen A-Level subjects (or relevant subject), Grade 5 or above in English and Maths and Grade 4 or above in non-related GCSE subjects.
Performance: 30% of the AS A recital of a minimum of 6 minutes of two contrasting pieces: • At least two solo pieces on one or more instruments or voices. Compositions with a combined duration of at least 4 mins 30 secs: 30% of the AS. • One to a brief set by OCR. • One to a brief written by the candidate. Listening and appraising: 40% of the AS. • Analysing and evaluating music. • Familiar and unfamiliar pieces. • Prescribed works. • Questions based on aural extracts.
