Music

Course summary

Studying A level music will enhance your performance and creative composition skills and develop your understanding and appreciation of a wide variety of musical styles and genres. These will include Vocal and Instrumental Music, Music for Film, Popular Music and Jazz, Fusions and New Directions. Creative composition tasks will ultimately lead towards the compilation of a small portfolio of original work, and the development of practical performance skills will result in a showcase recital at the end of the course. Classroom activities are necessarily varied. It is very important that wherever possible, new concepts and ideas are explored practically as well as theoretically, in order to enhance understanding. Music students can enjoy some of the best facilities available with dedicated practice rooms, a recital room, a range of musical instruments, recording studios and the latest computer technology.
