GCSE Music - what to expect?

So I'm in year 9 and I start my year 10 timetable on Monday and music is one of my options. I was wondering if people who have already done it could give me some general info about it e.g how hard it is, what topics you study, about the exams and stories about your personal experience with GCSE music etc.

Thanks!

depends on what exam board your studying music with :P i was with AQA and the advice im going to tell you is focus hard and make sure you put all your effort into the coursework becuase in order to come out with a good grade is too get the coursework up to top marks so when it comes to the exam you dont have to pressure yourself so much but when you do theory lesson makes sure you listen and take everything in because then it wont be as hard and try starting to write your own pieces of music now so that when it comes to doing composition work for your coursework it will be much easier for you :smile:
