An A-Level in music will allow you to develop skills in Performance and Composition at advanced level which allows you to explore your creative interests in music and refine your development as a musician. It will also expand your experience of listening and analysing music through the study of a variety of set works and wider listening. Alongside the course, students take part in a variety of musical events including concerts (formal and informal), services, events, productions and foreign concert tours. In collaboration with the drama dept, we produce three productions each year (two musicals and a drama) in which our musicians play an active and vital role. You will also be involved with our choir and orchestra which affords unique performance opportunities in a variety of venues.
– Grade 6 in GCSE Music. - Passes at grade C or above including English and Mathematics
Performing: • An 8-minute recital on your chosen instrument(s)/voice which is recorded and submitted to the exam board for assessment. Composing: • Two compositions which are completed during the course. • Composition one is either a ‘free’ composition which allows you to draw on your particular interests and strengths; or a composition following a set brief, linked to one of the six areas of study. • Composition two assesses your ability to compose following a particular technique such as 4-part harmony or two-part counterpoint. This is completed under exam conditions in April of the assessment year.
