Cambridge International AS and A Level Music encourages learners to develop their musical skills in a variety of music styles and traditions and build on their musical interests. Learners are encouraged to listen, compose and perform with understanding, analysis and confident communication. They learn to become independent and critical thinkers.
Cambridge International AS and A Level Music provides a foundation for the study of music or related courses in higher education.
This syllabus replaces Cambridge AS & A Level Music (9703) from 2019 onwards. The last series for AS & A Level Music (9703) will be November 2019.
