DD just gone into yr11, wants to study music, probably at a University but not ruled out the Conservatoires. More geared to performance/appraising - compositioon weakest area, and no interest there.

Best subjects are Maths and Sciences.
Pretty much decided on Music & Maths for A'levels. Loves the French language - so a possible 3rd subject, although thinks it may be too difficult an A'level for her.
4th subject was going to be RS or a new subject.

Always struggled with English, and a disappointing AQA result may prevent her taking A'level subjects not studied for GCSE (ie RS or Psychology).
Taking Geog GCSE, but not confident of more than a B.
Almost certainly will need to change schools to do above combination, as subject clashes at current school.

How necessary is a 'written' A'level subject for Music?

here, i knew it was Handel but didn't want to say in case i was wrong!

knowing the music already, it was amazing to hear it on instruments that Handel wrote it for.

will be very useful for your DD to have this kind of information under her belt if they ask about her first instruments.
