Eduqas Music A Level

This is a rigorous course with broad appeal that is designed to suit potential university or Conservatoire students, as well as engaging those who simply enjoy music. It provides learners with the opportunity to study music in an integrated way where the skills of performing, composing and appraising, reinforce knowledge and understanding of musical elements, contexts and language. In addition to the appraising examination, all learners will be assessed in both performing and composing. However, the specification allows learners to specialise in either performing or composing by providing two options for Components 1 and 2.

An immersive A Level, Music can provide an important foundation for many career paths including music producer, performer, composer, music therapist and teacher.
