Proposal By Edexcel To Drop Music Technology A-Level

EDM number 2574 in 2005-06, proposed by Sarah Teather on 13/07/2006.

That this House notes the proposal by the Edexcel examination board to drop music and music technology A level from their portfolio; further notes that they are the only examination board offering a discrete music technology A level and that over half of music examinations sat by pupils this year were set by Edexcel; recognises that the total number of music entries at A level has risen by 46 per cent. since 1997; fears that this move by Edexcel could reverse this trend in music by reducing choice for teachers and pupils and would effectively eliminate A level music technology provision; recalls that in a recent interview the Arctic Monkeys said that music technology had provided them with the essential skills to work in the music industry and calls on Edexcel to seek re-accreditation for both music and music technology from the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority for the good of future generations of musicians and those interested in music technology.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
