A Level Music Online School
Cambridge Home School - A-Level Music
Music is undoubtedly one of the toughest yet most rewarding courses students can take during their A-Levels. It has several benefits that can translate well into almost any career path a student chooses in the future and allows students to develop mastery in their passions and hone their skills through understanding the technicalities of music.
Studies have shown that music can stimulate various parts of the brain, including the limbic system and the auditory system. This course will provide students with transferable skills. Performance and presentation skills are very useful for anyone who works in music. Various skills can be developed in musicians that are very important to academic success.
Music can also help people maintain good mental health, and studies have shown that it can improve mood and creativity and help with anxiety and self-doubt. It can also help people regulate their emotions. Doing so allows them to avoid going through multiple exams in a row. It also helps them reach a higher grade as it only takes one exam.
Unfortunately, many international students cannot get the guidance they need to tackle this complex subject and make a career in this field. To help students get the grades their talent merits, Cambridge Home School Online provides motivated, English-speaking students worldwide avail quality music homeschooling globally.

What To Expect When Taking Up A-Level Music?
The A-Level Music course taught by Cambridge Home School Online follows the current AQA A-Level specification. The A-level Music specification is well-regarded by universities and colleges due to its comprehensive structure, which provides a firm basis for further study.
The course will consist of the following sections:
Composition: 25%
Two compositions are required for the exams. These must be submitted in the form of a recording, which should be accompanied by a score, a lead sheet, or a written account. The recording can be done live or electronically and carried out by the student or accompanied by other musicians. Both works will be monitored as they are performed, and the candidate’s work is their own.
Performance: 35%
All submitted exams will be announced through the candidates’ announcement, which the teacher will only see. All students must be aware that they are responsible for finding another performer for the course if they wish to perform alongside them. This should not be a problem as instrumental teachers usually have other students who could perform with the candidates.
Performances should consist of at least 10 minutes. Each student should have their own instrumental teacher to help them select their repertoire. We can also provide instruction throughout the course.
Appraising Music: 40%
Students will be able to aurally analyse the various elements and devices listed in the specification throughout the course. They will also apply this analysis to different pieces in the same area of study to learn more.
