This course balances coursework with examinations, and you’ll need to assist your classwork with instrument practice and independent study on your own compositions. Throughout the course, you’ll study a range of topics including Performing Music, Composing, Developing Musical Understanding and Composition and Technical Study. This is a dynamic course as you’ll enjoy concerts, recitals, examinations and auditions throughout your study. On this course, you will study: – Performance of music via weekly performance lessons in addition to your private lessons – Composing – Developing musical understanding through studying six areas: vocal music, instrumental music, music for film, pop music and jazz, fusions and new directions.
Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above including English Language and Mathematics. You will be around grade 5 standard on an instrument and have achieved a grade 4 in GCSE Music (although this is not essential) and/or grade 5 theory. You”ll have to audition for this course, so while you don’t need a practical music grade, you’ll need to perform at around the standard of a grade 5 on an instrument or voice. Music theory is important too, and you should aim to be at grade 5 theory standard at the start of the course.
Assessment is by final recital performance, coursework composition to a choice of briefs given by the exam board and a written paper based on the six areas of study.
