The music course will give you the chance to listen to, perform and compose music in many styles using digital multitracking, keyboards, acoustic instruments, and computer sequencing and processing using programmes such as Cubase and Sibelius.  You will also study the five main modules listed in the listening section above using original film, video and audio material.

At the end of the course you will hand in your composing coursework (one piece chosen from all the composing projects you have done during the course), hand in one short composing assignment (based on all the listening work you have done), perform one solo piece, one piece with others (ensemble performance) and take an hour long listening exam on the music you have studied.

If you like the thought of exploring music of all kinds while learning new ICT skills and developing your instrumental and vocal abilities, then GCSE music is for you!
