Music Level 1/2

Studying GCSE music provides students with the opportunity to develop their own musical interests as well as learning about a wide range of musical styles. 

The course is very practical, with students developing their ability to play an instrument or sing and also writing their own music. Whether students can read music or learn ‘by ear’ the GCSE music course is designed to bring out the best in students as a music maker. 

The breakdown of the course is as follows:

• Two performances: solo and group performance

• Two compositions: one is set to a brief by the awarding body and the other is the student’s choice

• Listening exam: a 90 minute paper covering all styles studied through the course
