The revised GCE Music qualification is made up of two parts: AS and A2. The AS can be taken as a ‘stand-alone’ qualification without progresson to A2. However, to gain a full GCE, students must complete both parts of the course.
The course is divided into four units. Students must study two units at AS level and a further two units at A2 level.
AS Units
AS 1: Making and Appraising Music 1
AS 2 : Responding to Music 1
A2 Units
A2 1: Making and Appraising Music 2
A2 2: Responding to Music 2
