The A Level Music course will attract and satisfy students with a keen interest in music, and the necessary aptitude, practically, academically or both. A Level Music carries an academic status and it is, of course, an essential prerequisite for most university and higher education courses in music, musical performance, music technology, acoustics, etc. However, the course is self-contained, and entirely suitable for musically inclined students who do not intend to continue their formal musical studies beyond Sixth Form level. The potential for enriching future lives, as well as future careers, is great. All students are required to become fully involved in extra-curricular music, as well as performing solo and ensemble works regularly in lunchtime and whole-school concerts. This is a skills- and knowledge-based exam. Students are required to practise the various skills in their own time. To aid this, students are given a set of example CDs that contain much of the music required for the various tasks. Students must of course practise their instrument regularly and often.
