Music A Level Overview
The study of music is a versatile and well-respected subject by all universities. Whether you choose to study this with a view to a career in music, or as a complimentary A-Level; it offers the opportunity to develop a range of skills from analysis and composition to self-confidence and self-expression. Music is often paired with Sciences and Mathematics as a sound route into careers in Engineering or the Media. Composing Music allows you to develop your skills as a composer. You can write for any combination of instruments in any style of music. Students will be required to write to a set brief and submit a free composition. We have both Sibelius 7 and Logic X Software for students to use. Performing Music allows you to develop confidence and virtuosity as a performer. Students are required to perform an extended programme of music which showcases your talents as a performer either with an ensemble, as a solo artist or a mixture of both disciplines. Students’ performances will be showcased at the annual A Level performing evening in partnership with the Performing Arts faculty. Listening and Appraising Music develops your analytical listening skills. Through the study of music from Western Classical to Bollywood, students will gain a wider appreciation of music from many different countries. You will have to show you can evaluate and critically analyse a variety of styles and genres.
