Posted July 16, 200619 yr Source: Mardy Bum Sarah Teather, the Liberal Democrat Shadow Education and Skills Secretary MP is arguing a case against exam board Edexcel, who are looking to stop running their Music Technology A Level - a course which the Arctic Monkeys took. She argued: "Edexcel should be looking to increase choice and opportunity for young people, not reduce it. The Edexcel website still boasts that members of the Arctic Monkeys studied Music Technology at A-level. Edexcel should reflect on the success of that band and reconsider their proposal to close the door on future rock stars, technicians and composers. I hope the glare of publicity will make them consult on the issue more widely and come to a less abrupt decision. Creative subjects such as music are vital for a well-rounded education. Music technology is a study very distinct from music and is a field that is growing in both popularity and career opportunities." Well they COULD argue that but Damon Albarn failed GCSE music and look what happened to him :P
