Music

Year 7 Music

Students engaged in Film/Television music repertoire as a focus this term. They incorporated the concepts of music to convey functions of music in compositions, including creating a mood and atmosphere for a Sci-fi genre film theme. Students utilised two composition software platforms including Soundtrap and Noteflight to create their compositions. 

It was great to see some Year 7 students involved in the College musical, Rock of Ages which was performed at the Wagga Civic Theatre this term. All of Year 7 were invited to attend an excursion to see a performance of Rock of Ages at the theatre, which was a highlight for many students, where they were able to see first hand the collaboration of music, drama and dance.

Year 8 Music

Students performed and arranged various Rock/Pop riffs leading to a Performance/Composition assessment. Students continued to develop performance skills on keyboard and guitar through performances individually and as class ensembles. Students ended the term with a student-centred learning activity, researching a Rock/Pop band or artist through the creation of a Podcast which was presented to their peers. Many Year 8 students were involved in Rock of Ages as leads, dancers, ensemble, band and back stage crew.

Year 9 Music 

Year 9 continued to develop their performance, composition and listening skills through Jazz and Pop/Rock music exploration. Many students in the class were enriched with their experience as lead, ensemble and band members of the school musical, Rock of Ages during the term.

Year 10 Music

Year 10 Music have performed various repertoire in class this term. This has included such songs as Yellow by Coldplay as well as Summer Of 69 by Bryan Adams. Year 10 well prepare for listening assessments in Term 3.

Year 11 Music 

Students completed their first Performance and Musicology assessments this term. Students performed varied repertoire including songs from Popular, Rock, Alternative Rock and Blues genres. For their Australian Music topic, students compared cover versions of Thunderstruck by AC/DC and analysed the concepts of music and their treatment within the songs.

Year 12 Music

We wish Year 12 luck for their upcoming Trial HSC and HSC Performances in Term 3. They are busy refining and practising at the moment. They will present a HSC night later in the term in combination with a variety of rehearsals.
