This course is designed for students who wish to follow a more traditional and classical career in Music. If you have aspirations to study for a traditional Music degree, then this is the course for you. Students who have studied Music A-Level at St Wilfrid’s have gone on to study this course at a variety of universities and conservatoires.
A-Level musicians are taught and guided on how to become creative, thoughtful and informed composers. Using the latest music technology, you will be able to compose in a range of genres. Guided by enthusiastic and professional musicians, you will have the opportunity to perform on a regular basis in a variety of formal and informal contexts. In addition, you will be encouraged to become a critical, independent and reflective listener who embraces all musical traditions.
There are many opportunities for musicians to perform at St Wilfrid’s. We have a vibrant and exciting extra-curricular programme of choirs, bands and instrumental ensembles. We regularly perform at different venues in the local and wider community.
To study Music you will require a grade 6 or higher in GCSE Music or ABRSM Grade 5 theory.
