A levels for music career

Hi everyone! I'm thinking of doing my A levels studies from home and I want to get into a good music uni, as my level of performing is pretty high. Unfortunately, because I don't live in the UK, I can't really take an A Level in music, but I can take ABRSM exams. Is there a problem in applying to a music uni without an A Level in music?
Depends on the uni you're applying to... Some do require A levels for specific subjects but some don't.

Ok, thanks! I was a bit scared I couldn't apply to any university in the UK without an A level in music.

Pretty much all unis will accept some evidence of musical literacy in place of A-Level, for example Grade 7 Music theory.
