Course content
We offer conservatoire-style training of a high calibre. At AS you’ll study solo and ensemble performance, composition and compositional techniques. In addition you’ll develop aural skills and musical analysis through the study of set works covering two areas of study (the symphony 1760-1830 and either music theatre, or rock and pop, or jazz). The music specification at AS consists of three units of study:
- Performing (30% of AS)
- Composing (30% of AS)
- Appraising (40% of AS)
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.

To enter this course, you’ll need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above, to include English/Welsh First Language and Maths/Maths Numeracy and.GCSE Grade B Music or Grade 5 Music Theory is required, as is an ability to read music notation. Performance to a Grade 5 standard (ABRSM, Trinity, Rockschool, etc) is also required.
