10 Music

10 Music

This course is a natural progression from Year 9 Music and it is vital that students have successfully completed the Year 9 module, achieving at least Merit in music performance and theory.  This course is suitable for students who have a strong interest in studying Music and want to advance their academic and practical skills.  Learning an instrument through attending itinerant music lessons is strongly recommended for all Year 10 Music students.  

Aspects covered:

•     Music Performance: students will play a musical instrument of their choice to advance their performance skills further.  Students will be provided with equipment and given time to practice and produce individual and collaborative performances. 

•     Music Technology: students will use computer applications such as MuseScore and Soundtrap to record and notate simple music sequences.

•     Music Notation: students will develop their music literacy (reading) skills further. The emphasis will be put on music harmony and learning of the notation conventions used in music scores.

•     Knowledge of Music: students will study a selection of musical pieces representing different (contrasting) styles, periods and musical contexts.
