The Music GCSE involves performing as a soloist and as part of a group. Instrumentalists are expected to attend additional instrumental and/or voice lessons.

This is done using a variety of medium including computers, acoustic and electronic instruments, the studio and singers. Pupils who want to study GCSE Music must have an ability to play a musical instrument to grade 3 or be gifted in singing. They should also enjoy performing to an audience.
