What the college says

We aim to develop well rounded musicians with a balance of skills in the main aspects of music: performing, composing, harmony, analysing and listening skills. Your grade at GCSE is not necessarily a clear indicator for aptitude at A level; this is why we require a brief audition for course suitability. A pass at grade 5 theory and grade 6 on an instrument or voice are strongly advised, as are some keyboard skills. Townley Grammar offers a range of choirs and ensembles for you to join which will enhance your A Level Music experience, with the opportunity to start new groups to suit your musical interests.

What you need to get on

Minimum of a grade 6 in GCSE Music, plus an audition.

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.
