Music

UPDATED 20160908 15:00:16

Studying music at A Level gives you the power to engage with music more deeply as a performer, composer and listener. Students are encouraged to be creative and to broaden their musical horizons and understanding with areas of study that inspire and challenge. A Level Music will enable students to explore performance and composition in greater detail and allow them to choose a specialism in performance or composition. Students will explore musical context, musical language and performance and composition skills. Students will engage actively in the process of music study and develop performing skills to demonstrate an understanding of musical elements, style, sense of continuity, interpretation and expression. You will also develop composing skills to demonstrate the manipulation of musical ideas and the use of musical devices and conventions, and develop awareness of music technologies and their use in the creation and presentation of music. You will be assessed by a performance component which is a non-exam assessment completed during the course and submitted to OCR for assessment as well as a composition component and a non-exam assessment completed during the course and submitted to OCR for assessment. There will also be an examined listening and appraisal component sat at the end of the linear course. There are many courses available at universities 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 creative 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.
