Course content
We offer conservatoire-style training of a high calibre.
At A2 you’ll study three units. Performance and composition are studied in greater depth and further musical understanding is developed through new set works based around three topic areas (The Symphony 1830 to 1910, Impressionism and American Musical Theatre). The music specification at A2 contains three units mirroring those at AS but allowing for greater flexibility of depth of study in Performing and Composition.
Units will be assessed either via coursework or by an examination. Visiting instrumental and vocal staff also assist in the preparation for grade examinations in performance.

Performance to a Grade 5 standard (ABRSM, Trinity, Rockschool, etc) is also required.
