Introduction
For those with proficiency on an instrument as well as openness to a number of styles, Music A level provides an excellent vehicle for the expansion and development of a musical life. Results in recent years have been outstanding and many pupils have taken the subject as part of an application profile to Russell Group and Oxbridge universities.
The A level tests not only one’s skills as a performer, but also provides an opportunity to compose freely as part of the course, as well as demonstrating skills in handling historical techniques of composition, analysis and historical understanding.
Music is a highly fulfilling course for suitable candidates. You might be a suitable candidate if you have taken Music at GCSE level and gained a Grade B or higher, but if you do not have Music GCSE you may still be a suitable candidate if you can demonstrate other levels of achievement, for example success at Grade 5 Music Theory and/or Grade 5 practical examinations. You should consider taking Music A level if you have an interest in listening to and performing music of all styles. Those who do best at Music A level tend to be proficient to Grade 5 on an instrument at the start of the course.
