What the college says

A-Level Music is mainly centred on an academic study of classical music. Students wishing to take A-Level music should be approximately grade 5 in theory and be able to perform to a similar level at the start of the course. The syllabus does not have to follow on from GCSE music, so it is open to candidates who have not studied music at Key Stage 4. The course divides into 3 components.

What you need to get on

6 GCSE/BTEC passes at Level 4 or above. It is desirable to achieve a Level 5 or above in this subject at GCSE (or a related subject). Ideally you should be of a Grade 5 equivalent standard on your chosen instrument and music theory.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
