GCSE Music Online
Course Description
The GCSE music course is for anybody who plays an instrument to any level, and who might want to find out more about the music around them. We teach you about the history behind four very different styles of music, with eight specific set works of all styles to enable you to build up a strong knowledge of how to express what you hear in words, and how to understand how the sound of music has changed over hundreds of years. There are sections in the course to look at classical music, modern classical music, pop and rock, and world music – and all 4 of these areas are equal in terms of questions asked in the one final exam paper. In addition, there is coursework to complete showing your skills as a performer and a composer.
