DJing as part of Music GCSE


"Exam board AQA has announced a series of changes to its GCSE Music syllabus, which includes to addition of DJing as a solo performance option.

Candidates have always had to demonstrate a performance skill to get their Music GCSE, but if exam regulator Ofqual approves AQA’s changes, students will be able to gain credit by scratching and showing how they’d prepare for a gig among other DJ skills.

“They originally said that jazz wasn’t real music, and they said it about rock and pop too,” AQA music head Seb Ross told BBC Newsbeat. “Dance music – like any kind of music – is about performing with skill and understanding how music creates mood and meaning.”
