If you are passionate about music of any genre, want to develop your knowledge of how music works, explore a range of musical styles, perform and compose, then this is the subject for you. You will learn more about Western art (ƒ??classicalƒ? orchestral) music from 1750 up to the present day, alongside one optional area of study from a choice of Rock and Pop, Musical Theatre and Jazz. You will need a high level of performing ability on any instrument including voice (approximately grade 4/5 standard at the start of the course) and must be prepared to study musical theory including reading score notation if this is not already familiar to you.
