What the college says

If you have a love of music, and particularly if you play an instrument or sing to a high standard, then Music is an excellent A Level to choose. The content of the course is broad and ranges from Italian Opera to Cuban Salsa, so it includes something for everyone. You will have opportunities to improve your playing and composing skills alongside like-minded and skilled young musicians.

This is perhaps one of the reasons why so many Higher Education courses, including medicine and science courses, look favourably on students who have studied music.
