Knowing the Levels
Ofqual (The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) is a non-ministerial government department in the United Kingdom that regulates qualifications, examinations, and assessments in England. One area that they regulate is music qualifications, and they have a set of music levels that are recognized and widely used in the UK.
The Ofqual music levels are a set of graded music qualifications that measure a student’s proficiency in music. There are eight levels, with level one being the most basic and level eight being the most advanced.
Here’s a breakdown of the different levels:
Level 1 (ABRSM/RSL Grade 1 – 3): This is an entry-level qualification designed for those just starting with music. It covers basic music theory, listening skills, and playing simple pieces.
Level 2 (ABRSM/RSL Grade 4 – 5): This level is designed for students with some music experience and covers more advanced music theory, listening skills, and playing more complex pieces.
Level 3 (ABRSM/RSL Grade 6 – 8 or GCSE A’Level): This level is equivalent to a GCSE in music and covers a broad range of musical styles and genres. Students at this level will need to have a good understanding of music theory and the ability to play a variety of pieces.
Level 4: 1st year Bachelor in Music equivalent
Level 5: 2nd year Bachelor in Music equivalent
Level 6: 3rd year Bachelor in Music equivalent
Level 7: Normally a 2-year post graduate study that equates to a Master of Music
