DARE E TO BE DRAMATIC? ATIC? #WE E ARE DRAMA! A!

The GCSE Drama specification allows for much freedom in the curriculum in terms

Group sizes, Topics and Controlled Assessment. Gone are the days when we recorded endless clips of students working in class only to ‘perform’ once for exam purposes. Drama GCSE these days is much more flexible, enjoyable and feels like a real GCSE qualification.

Yes, or sing. You need to be able to perform for Unit 1. Standard difficulty for GCSE is about Grade 3, although you can still do well if you are not at this level. Do I have to play an inst strum rument nt?

You can access much of GCSE music even if you can’t read musical notation. However, there is one question that requires you to read a few notes, and studying some of the set works usually requires a bit of note reading as well. So, if you do Music GCSE, and you don’t read music at all, you will be expected to come along to Music Theory EP in order to gain some basic skills.

I can’t read music. Can I do GCSE SE?

You can do all your performances as Rock and Pop music if you wish. Depending on the brief from the board, it may also be possible for both of your compositions to be in this style. You will need to learn about the classical pieces for the listening paper. I don’t like classical music. Can n I just t do rock and pop?

Performances can be recorded privately, although you will be encouraged to try to do some performance for the class. Performing to an audience (even a small one) can add a lot to the

I don’t like performing in front of people

Music at GCSE is very different from music lessons in years 7-9! They tend to be very free, and often quite informal… …especially when working on performance or composition. Listening lessons (usually 1 each week) tend to be more formal and structured. What are the lessons ssons like? e?

Many people wish to try and work in the performing arts and music. It can be helpful in teaching, broadcasting, theatre and many other jobs. There are also many benefits from studying music which reach far beyond the subject

• itself. It is well documented that studying music has many educational benefits.

Employers, colleges and universities generally look very favourably on music as a subject as it suggests a person will have many additional skills.
