Level 3 Music Contemporary

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs F. Wilson.

Students continue to develop skills from Level 2 Music Contemporary. Standards in songwriting, recording, editing and sequencing of original recordings are introduced. Analysis of a music work within a contemporary context will complement the practical aspects.

In addition to this, students will be assessed in solo and group performance, and therefore must be learning an instrument through either the itinerant music programme, or with a private teacher.

The standards offered in this course may be altered at the discretion of the Head of Department.

If students require a subject endorsement, they can opt to be entered into an external examination instead of the internal context standard.
