(Music is well regarded by universities as they appreciate the diverse range of skills students need to have to succeed. Music is also a very flexible subject which combines extremely well with many others. Many students opt to take music music with languages, and it also compliments maths and sciences. AS and A level Music comprise three main sections which encourage you to enjoy developing your current skills whilst exploring new areas of study. Composition - At AS level you are taken back to basics to have a look at how experts compose and you will borrow some of their techniques. This is then put into practice with your own composition. Listening and Understanding - An open mind is what is need for this area. You will be listening to music from every part of the world and from every era of musical history. You will have the chance to research areas that interest you and learn to appreciate those styles which you find more challenging. Like most A levels music can be seen as a route to any degree. If you wish to become a music teacher or work in the performing arts then it is essential. However the high level of personal discipline, presentation and confidence that you develop during the course is recognised by universities and employers as being highly desirable for entry onto any course. Other areas that are increasing looking for musicians include the Armed Forces, primary school teaching, and all jobs involving sound recording, media and film/video editing.)
