This subject will foster a real love and understanding of music within students through the study of music from a wide historical span as well as music from other countries, writing compositions, developing aural awareness and building upon performing skills. Students will develop analytical skills that will help them understand not only the music they perform but to draw connections between repertoire from the past and present day. This is a good starting point for further study at all universities and colleges and a good grounding for a career in performing. Music A level offers a massive number of transferable skills which are highly respected by universities.
At least eight GCSEs or IGCSEs graded at 7 or above for entry to our sixth form in the subjects that you are taught at school. For students currently at CLSG, each subject has a standard entry requirement of Grade 7 at GCSE or IGCSE in that subject or a related subject as specified under each subject’s entry in this booklet. Candidates should start the course at approximately Grade 6 standard on their first instrument/voice. Candidates without GCSE music may be considered at the discretion of the Director of Music if they have achieved a high grade on an instrument or voice (Grade 7 or 8).
The AQA A level qualification is 100% externally assessed and consists of one written paper and two non-examined assessments.
