Music Pathways at KS4

Music at Key Stage 4 at Callington Community College offers students two different pathways of study. Students can either study the Rockschool Level 2 Certificate for Music Practitioners, or follow the BTEC Level 2 Extended Certificate in Performing Arts (Music).

KS4 Music is extremely practical.

These courses are designed for those who enjoy composing, playing, and finding out about all types of music.

As well as providing for those who are interested in voice and orchestral instruments, our courses at KS4 cater well for rock, pop and jazz musicians, encouraging a broad range of students to take music to KS4 level and beyond.

The music department is well equipped with a wide variety of electronic and acoustic musical instruments and digital sound recording facilities. The 2 recording studios house impressive 48 track mixing desks which record to Logic running on Mac Pro computers. There are also 26 iMac computers in the department which are used both for research purposes and for sequencing / sampling / mixing on Logic, and scoring using Sibelius software.

We have 4 teaching classrooms, complete with PA systems and musical instruments, along with many smaller practice rooms for small group and individual rehearsal.

All of these facilities are widely used by all students on KS4 courses.
