You need to be able to play an instrument, you need to be able to read conventional notation and you need to be interested in music. The programme is similar to that of the Higher Level, but you choose either Performance or Composition. Assessment is similar for both levels, although the examinations are longer for the Higher Level. Two examinations, one involving listening to a tape and answering questions and one involving analysing written music and writing short essays.
Performance is assessed internally.
