Course planning

Both the L2 and L3 course have a high degree of personalisation. Depending on what aspects of music you want to focus on, we can create a course that caters for your musical goals.

We would urge you to work with your teacher to choose a course of study that is realistic and is a mix of larger portfolio style assessment activities and smaller, shorter assessments. There are no compulsory assessments, though we suggest a mix of practical and written activities. 18 - 24 Credits is a typical course total. Some guidance is below:
