For those who wish to pursue a career in music, Music A Level is also the perfect course. Music graduates become not only per- formers and composers but also present- ers, producers, recording engineers, arts managers and administrators. Just under half of last year’s A Level Mu- sic students continued their study of mu- sic at university. The others went on to study PPE, English Literature, Geography and History and one secured a highly competitive degree apprenticeship.
