Music - GCSE (Optional Subject)

This is an optional course to undertake at GCSE level.
Studying GCSE Music offers fantastic opportunities to further your musical and creative development, whether pursuing a career in music or experiencing the benefits it offers in a wide range of career choices.
You will be equipped with all the skills you need to write and produce music on our industry standard software in the Production Suite and Studio. You will be guided in how you can produce high quality performances in both a solo and ensemble/group context.
To assist with this, the cost of instrumental lessons on your first instrument will be covered by the school. Through the examination component, you will learn how to listen to a variety of musical styles with a critical ear, allowing it to inform your own music performance and composition work. We cover a broad range of styles, learn about the techniques and theory behind them and show you how to apply them to your own music making.
