Music

The Year 7 Music course aims to provide students with the opportunity to experience, perform and create music within a variety of styles, contexts, and performance mediums. Through these opportunities, the development of specific skills in each of these areas is encouraged and an appreciation for the living and constantly evolving art of music is developed. 

The areas of study included in this elective are:

 • Performance (using voice, keyboard, and auxiliary percussion instruments) 

• Creative Organisation (Composition and Arranging) 

• Listening (Aural Skills) 

• Musicology (History and Theory) 

Group and individual performances will take place involving simple melodies and rhythms using traditional and non-traditional notation. Although practical skills are encouraged and performance on instruments takes place, the course is designed for all students with or without prior musical experience.
