GCSE Music: a Survey of Undergraduate Opinion

Abstract

The GCSE was greeted by many teachers and educationists as a major reform in music education. A survey of students who proceeded to advanced musical study since taking the examination has revealed less enthusiasm. Whilst appreciating its practical and creative character, the majority perceived the GCSE as an inadequate preparation for the demands of subsequent courses, particularly A-level. The survey also reveals a mismatch between the broad and balanced view of music which the GCSE seeks to promote and the somewhat narrower view of the subject held by many students.
