What the college says

Studying music at A level gives you the power to engage with music more deeply as a performer, composer and listener. There are many courses available at universities and conservatoires, from which music graduates enter a hugely diverse range of professions both in and out of the world of music and the creative arts. Although A level music involves a lot of practical work, the theoretical study of music history and theory is sufficiently rigorous that it is accepted as a serious academic subject for entry to most university courses. Possible careers in music include performing, composing and arranging, education, music therapy, music administration and management, music production and the wider creative industries.
