Exactly what specification would this be then? My music GCSE, sat this year, was at the very least 30% based on skills that without any doubt require the ability to write music.Another 30% of my particular GCSE was based on reading and performing music and then an additional 15 was a further composition that could admittedly have been written without the ability to read music but by my calculations if I could read and write music the highest percentage I could have got in GCSE music would have been 25%, I'm no examnier but I assure you that is a long shot from an A.
