This course is suitable for all instrumentalists or vocalists who have some proficiency and a passion to develop as a performer. The course broadens experience and skills in ensemble performance and students will be required to perform in public on a regular basis throughout the course. Students will perform a variety of genres covering popular music from the 1950s to the modern day. The course also includes training in listening, critical review and composition. Confidence in some form of musical literacy skills is essential and we recommend that students are comfortable with Music Theory to ABRSM Grade 3 before embarking on the course. Students who have not achieved Grade 5 Theory will be required to attend extra sessions to support their studies. Students should be creative and willing to be involved with the musical activities of the Department.
- 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. Acceptance on the course is subject to audition and interview with the Music staff. This will be an opportunity for students to present some of their performances and learn about how the course will develop their potential. Ideally students should also have passed an ABRSM Grade 3 (instrument) qualification and should also be able to demonstrate an understanding of Music Theory to ABRSM Grade 3.
The course is assessed via external assessment and coursework: portfolios, journals, audio and video evidence, presentations, accounts and evaluations.
