people are saying that art and music are nearly the same thing..i know that music is a form of art, but surely visual art ie. painting and music are very different?

Agree with the other answer, music is a very difficult subject to study but I suppose if you're good at it then you should do it.
If you mean would I choose music or art in a cultural sense then I don't think it's possible to separate them. Music IS art - the canvas is your eardrums. Music is art. It's just a different medium. So it's a bit like asking "Do you prefer your eyes or your ears?". Music. Love art, but music can appear anywhere at any time without warning. It has a godliness about it. Studying music in school is very difficult.
Harder than people first think, the music grade is split into 4 - Coursework performing - where you do two performances.
One solo and one group.
Coursework composing - One composition that is based on the music special events study.
Integrated Assignment - A composition that is based on AQA set assignment.
Listening and Appraising - What it says in the title! It is a 75 minute test.
Each of the 4 sections is worth 25% of your overall mark, so it is quite a lot if you happen to go wrong.
I would actually recommend art, but that too is very challenging. You have to be rather good to get anywhere with it. Have you thought about Geography? It is a little ''geeky'' but you learn so much, I hate to sound like I'm advertising geography! But seriously you learn about things in the world you never knew existed, you can voice your opinion about various things and get into very heated debates!
Good Luck.
I studied: English, Maths, Science, Geography, French and a hair and beauty NVQ. I love drawing and visiting art Galleries.I love playing drums in a band.And listening to many other music talented musicians,And bands too. I love both all most equally. Music and art are extensions of one another. I love both but art satisfies something in me deep down. It is a physical expression of what I am thinking AND I get to give it away or hang it on the wall. I still do my music but I think I express myself better through painting. When I tried to study music, it felt too much like MATHMATICS, ugh! Well both because, art forms beauty with your own hands and music can bring and change what you feel. music is art I'm doing music for GCSE, and I'm really glad I'm doing that instead of art because I see all my friends, who are doing Art for GCSE, having to do so much work. I do think art is nice though.
