OVERVIEW<br />
Expand your musical repertoire, develop a deeper<br />
appreciation of what you hear and discover how elements of<br />
music work together as you compose and perform your own<br />
work.<br />
You will explore a variety of musical genres and discover<br />
what inspires musicians and how they develop techniques<br />
for practice and performance. You will use our professional<br />
recording studio, which has specialist music software<br />
including Cubase and Logic Pro for producing studio-based<br />
compositions, and Sibelius to score creations.<br />
Directing and organising your own ensembles, you will<br />
prepare performances for the many musical events that occur<br />
throughout the school. These include live performances in<br />
Romsey Abbey, our music and performing arts showcase<br />
events, recitals and concerts. In addition, there are many<br />
varied groups and ensembles for you to take part in, including<br />
orchestra, jazz band, flute choir, rock band and choir.<br />
Assessment<br />
At the end of the course, the<br />
assessment comprises three<br />
parts: performing, composing and<br />

Future Pathways<br />

as performance, composition,<br />
musicology, ethnomusicology,<br />

and teaching. It is also common<br />
to find music graduates in<br />
consultancy, finance, banking,<br />
