This course encompasses the three core elements of performance, composition and appraising and is designed for students keen to study music through both practical and academic disciplines, and explore in depth the relationships between them. You must be proficient on at least once instrument (or voice) and it is expected that you will continue to have individual lessons on your main instrument outside of school. A firm grasp of conventional musical notation (treble and bass clefts) key signatures (up to four sharps/flats) is also required, and some ability on the piano is highly desirable. Performance will be assessed each year. The minimum standard required is around Associated Board Grade 6 for A Level. Composition is assessed through the creation of two compositions; once from a set brief, or a free composition, and the other from a list of briefs assessing compositional techniques. A clear understanding of the principles of musical notation and analysis is essential. The appraising unit is a 2 hour written examination, based on the areas of study with listening and dictation and essay writing tasks.
