Music - Year 7

Year 7 Music

Music in Year 7 strongly emphasises the practical activities of playing, singing, composing and listening. Through these activities students explore the musical elements of time, pitch, timbre, dynamics and texture. As the elements are explored, students play and listen to music from a range of styles and genres, with repertoire chosen from classical, popular and folk traditions. 

Much of the practical work occurs in large and small groups, allowing opportunity to develop effective ensemble and collaborative skills. Students are encouraged to use instruments they can already play, sing or use classroom percussion. At times pieces prepared in class will feature in live performances in front of a larger audience. The opportunity also exists to work with visiting musicians.

Students are also strongly encouraged to participate in the School’s co-curricular Music program.
