The Music Department has five recording studios running Logic Pro on Macs and there is a wide range of microphones, suitable for all recording applications. Additionally there is a large suite of Macs equipped with Logic Pro to allow students to undertake individual work in their own time. The A Level Music Technology course is split into four main disciplines: recording, sequencing, producing and listening. In order to get the most out of the course, students should be interested in a variety of popular styles of music – from the 1950s to the present day. The Music Department is a great place to meet like-minded musicians and form bands. Performance opportunities are in abundance and include lunchtime gigs, the Spring and Winter Concerts, annual Battle of the Bands competition and Reigate College Leavers Music Fest.
- Evidence of musical ability, for example GCSE or BTEC Music, ABRSM Grades or those offered by similar awarding bodies - Grade 4 in Maths and Grade 4 in Combined Science or Grade 4 in Physics - All students need to have at least five GCSEs at Grade 4 or above (and a satisfactory school reference) in order to be accepted on an A Level/BTEC Level 3 Programme
The course is assessed through two practical and written examinations in June of the second year and externally assessed coursework.
