Welcome to A Level Music!

There are three components to Eduqas A Level Music, similar to GCSE:
1. Performing (30%)
2. Composing (30%)
3. Listening and Appraising (Written Exam) (40%)

However at A Level, students can specialise further in performing or composing depending on your strengths:

Option A:
Performing 35% = 10-12 minutes of performance
Composing 25% = Total duration of compositions 4-6 minutes

Option B:
Performing 25% = 6-8 minutes of performance
Composing 35% = Total duration of compositions 8 -10 minutes

Listening/Appraising Exam 40% 

The exam will assess your knowledge and understanding of music through three areas of study, which you will study in your lessons.
You will have some set works to learn in detail but will also learn about the overall style of each area of study with references to other works.
Areas of study include the Development of the Symphony; a choice of Rock and Pop Music, Jazz, or Musical Theatre; and either Into the Twentieth Century or Into the Twenty-First Century.
