Our offer for AS and A Level Music

Studying A Level Music with OCR offers a deep and comprehensive exploration of music, enhancing both your practical and theoretical skills.

The course is ideal for students passionate about music, allowing you to further develop your performance, composition, and analytical abilities. Our A Level Music covers a wide range of musical genres, from classical to contemporary, and provides a balanced focus on performance, composition, and musical analysis. This means you'll gain a well-rounded understanding of music as both an art form and a discipline. The emphasis on independent thinking and creativity in composition and interpretation prepares you for higher education or professional opportunities in music.

The skills you’ll develop — such as critical thinking, attention to detail, and collaboration—are highly transferable to various fields. A Level Music also offers flexibility in terms of the areas you can focus on, helping you align the course with your interests and aspirations.

We offer plenty of support. Our support materials offer a variety of resources, including teaching and learning guides, candidate exemplars, CPD course bookings, and more, all accessible on Teach Cambridge. We also offer free subject specialist support to all centres via our subject advisor team.
