What the college says

A Level Music opens up a world of music through the detailed study of a diverse range of pieces and songs. You will study the history of music (from the renaissance period through to the present day), the principles of composition, along with developing your practical ability. You will develop analysis skills that allow you to see how music works and link this to the music which you listen to, compose and perform. As well as those who enjoy being creative with performance and composition, it is also for those who enjoy the intellectual rigour of research and analysis, whilst also developing skills in essay writing and critical thinking.
