Music
All girls study music in Year 7, 8 and 9. The curriculum at this level develops the three core skills of performing, composing and listening through the study of different genres from Europe across the centuries, and the wider world. Practical experience is central to Key Stage Three music at Leweston and music technology is used to facilitate effective learning.
GCSE Music involves performance, listening and composition. Pupils must give a solo performance as part of the examination and are then given a choice of solo performance on a second instrument, ensemble performance or directing an ensemble. The girls study music from a variety of styles and traditions including world, popular and the 20th Century.
The art of composition is studied throughout the course and pupils compose within specific topics that are covered in the listening paper. Candidates submit two pieces of work lasting at least two minutes in total.
It is recommended that the girls will involve themselves in the many musical activities available.
