Cambridge Music AS

Cambridge Music AS (9483) - Click here for official Syllabus

 

This course explores a wide variety of areas of music:

Music Theory

Listening and Analyzing

Music History

Performance Practices

Composition

 

A good background foundation of music is a must, and will typically mean that you have taken 2+ music classes at SHS already.  The Cambridge program stresses the importance of self-learning by means of research, listening, and practicing.

 

Who can take Cambridge Music?  Everyone, but it is designed for music students to further their understanding of music and is also designed for Cambridge students working towards their AICE diploma.
