Music

Course summary

The A-Level Music course is designed to allow learners to pursue their own musical interests. Learners develop skills in the three distinct but related disciplines of performing, composing and appraising, whilst having flexibility to specialise in either performing or composing. Learners will engage with both classical and popular music. All learners will study the development of the symphony which is important in developing knowledge and understanding of musical elements and language in context. Learners will use the musical language of this period to compose one piece of music to a brief. Learners will also study Musical Theatre and music from the early 20th century. Please Note: This subject will only be offered if there is an appropriate level of demand from students. In case the subject does not run, you will have to pick a reserve subject. The running of this course will be confirmed on Induction Day.
