Of course not. If you can play well, there is no required qualification. Especially in popular music, there is no need to do exams as long as you have passion, talent and skill.
Katie flunked her GCSE'S
Yes he did.
In GCSE Music, the topics are based around a set piece of music, each in one of four areas of study which are Western Classical Music 1600-1899, Music in the 20th Century, Popular Music in Context and World Music. The pieces and topics are as followed: Western Classical Music "And the Glory of the Lord" from Messiah by G.F. Handel. This concentrates on the idea of Baroque operettas Symphony No. 40 in G Minor KV.550 (1st Movement) by W.A. Mozart. This looks at the Classical Period, with particular attention to Mozart himself. Prelude No. 15 ("Raindrop") by F. Chopin. This concentrates on the Romantic Era. Music in the 20th Century "Peripetie" from Five Orchestral Pieces by Arnold Schoenberg. This looks at Serialism. "Something's Coming" from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein. This looks at Musical Theatre. 3rd Movement (Fast) from Electric Counterpoint by Steve Reich.

Katie flunked her GCSE's and left school at 16.
In my school it's a BTEC. If it doesn't say BTEC before it, it will probably be GCSE in your school. But if it's BTEC, you will get 2 GCSE's instead of 1.
There is a small difference between them. They are both mainly practical courses however the performing arts: acting is usually a BTEC course. If you wanted to go on to colege and study drama, then take the Performing arts course at it will help you more in the course
Normally you will need dance, drama, and a music some schools ask for art but some do not have it as a requirement so the basic ones that all of the school i have looked at wont is dance btec drama btec/ gsce and music btec hope this helps x
I'm doing business btec at the moment and I think it is worth doing, you get 2 gcse's in the end so you may as well! -Flonk28
It's up to you. You do get 2 GCSE's if you do BTEC, but from what I've heard, you do less sport time in BTEC and spend more time doing research. That's what happened in my school, I don't know about yours.
btec is a easier way of working then gcse and is more practical work then corsework. IT IS NOT FOR STUPID PEOPLE!
AP Chemistry and BTEC sports science diploma.
As long as you have an equivalent of 5 GCSE's between C-A* this does not matter. It is your A level ( or higher equivalent grades) that matter. This depends on what you want to do, but as long as you have 3 good A levels you are likely to be excepted. However, you do require a good GCSE maths and English grade ( usually a C or B as a minimum.) If you wanted to specialise in something then you often need a B or above in that subject for both GCSE and A level.
Yeh, if you are consistent, fit and have an understanding how the body works then yeah. I done gcse p.e and Btec sport in both i got A's.
Most 6th forms/colleges require that you have that GCSE at C or above. Also, it is very hard to do A Level Music without GCSE Music.
It depends entirely on which GCSE you are taking. Like, for example, I know that Music GCSE is out of 80 and Maths is out of 200. It varies subject to subject.
Absolutely none. If you want something, go get it. If you preservere you can accomplish anything you want in life. You need no GCSE grades to get in College. Even if you did need GCSE grades to get on a Science course, when you go to opening evening in college speak to head of Science and explain your predicament and the likelyhood is they'll give you a spot anyway. The same thing happened to me for BTEC national diploma. I was kicked from school at 15 for hacking the PC's .........Left with little or no GCSE's I was put on BTEC at 2nd year level even though i didnt have any knowledge of networking. Purely because i explained how things had turnt out for me. Hope this helps.
