Music (GCSE / A-level) tutors

Music at GCSE and A-level (AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas, OCR) splits into three components: performance, composition, and listening/appraising (analysis of set works). The set works range from Bach and Mozart to Debussy, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, popular music, jazz and film scores, depending on board and year. Tutoring helps most on composition (which most students under-prepare and which carries substantial weight) and on the analytical listening paper, where score-reading and harmonic-analysis skills are decisive. Performance grade is partly a function of instrumental teaching outside the school spec. Match the tutor to the specific board and to the area (composition, theory, performance) that needs work.
