Pupils studying Music at Key Stage 4 will be working towards a GCSE in the subject. Different examination boards provide specifications and this determines the curriculum pupils follow during Key Stage 4. As part of Key Stage 4 Music, pupils can be required to create a composition. They may be required to perform a solo and ensemble piece. A listening and written exam can also be a requirement.
Studying Music at Key Stage 4 not only teaches pupils knowledge, skills and understanding needed to compose, perform or appraise. It develops an appreciation of different kinds of music, creative thinking and gives an opportunity for pupils to extend their own interests and find new ones in this subject.
Audio material for use in the classroom can be found in this section. There is also access to software that can be used to record, edit and compose pieces of music. Music Theory provides a good source of information on the basics of Music as well as containing more advanced material. This could be useful when teaching in the classroom or a source pupils can access as part of revision.
