What the college says

The A-Level course has 3 components and you will study a variety of styles in Performing, Composing and Appraising Music. The performance and compositions will be completed in Year 13 and you will work on these aspects of the course during Year 12 alongside the Appraising Music component.

What you need to get on

You should have a GCSE Music qualification, grade 9 - 5. In addition, grade 5 theory is of great benefit in understanding the course. It would be advisable to be at least grade 4 standard on your main instrument(s). We sometimes admit students onto the course who have not taken GCSE Music. These students have usually gained a wide experience of performing, composing and listening through out-of-class activities. Each such case is considered on its own merits.

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.
