hey, a few weeks ago i chose my gcse options (2) and i chose spanish and geography. my mind went messed up and i could not decide and made changes and so on. now i'm thinking about dropping spanish because i have another three languages and carrying on with geography and either doing art or music gcse. both my teachers think that i could get high marks in both subjects but i can only choose one and i enjoy both. art i enjoy fashion and anything but portraits and music i am grade 4 piano and grade 4 violin. art is also really really really time consuming and you must be really really committed and that it is really really hard to get a good grade in. those who have done music or art, which one is hard and which one would be valuable in the future? aaah what should i do? i really need help because my final decision is tonight!

thanks

Music if you have grade 4 piano and violin, it is basically down to performances and listening to pieces of music and remembering it

If you pick Art... you will spend about 3x as much of your free time on it more than your other subjects. Anecdotal evidence - so only choose that if you are REALLY commited.
I'd say Music.

Music is also a pretty time-consuming subject to study. Myself and my muso mates spent all our free time glued to Sibelius music software on our school computers!

So just go for the one you like better

i took both, and right now i'd say you should take art because music is sososo boring. but i like art so only take it if you enjoy it, it is time consuming
sorry if this is late lol.

I took Geography, Spanish and Music GCSE and Music was my biggest regret!
It really depends on you so don't be put off because I hate it.
If you enjoy music theory and creating compositions then go for it. It does take up a lot of time cause you need to revise and practice playing a lot but if you think you can do it you should take it. I hate music theory which is probably why I'm dreading my listening exam tomorrow ;D
