Music Summary
A Level Music enables you to extend your knowledge and understanding of music and builds on much of the GCSE qualification. The qualification allows students to engage critically with some of the greatest composers who have ever lived across a variety of musical styles. Students must play an instrument or sing and will need to demonstrate a strong commitment to performance and advancement of their technical skills as performing is an integral part of the course. You will also develop and refine your composition skills developed in GCSE, study set musical works in detail and develop analysis skills that will enable you to access academic musical studies at degree level. A level music students should be open minded about studying a wide variety of music genres and must enjoy active listening to music in their free time.
