SACE Music
Towards the end of Term 1, some of our students were involved in a music performance recording for the year SACE music Assessment Task 1 (AT1).
For this assessment students explore and apply their musical understanding, skills, and techniques to develop, refine, and present their musical works.
A performance may be as a soloist, as a member of an ensemble, or as an accompanist. Students can perform using instruments including technology and found sounds and/or voice. The creative works may be in a variety of styles.
