MUSIC Why study Music? We study music because it is enjoyable, challenging and constructive. It helps you learn both practical and theoretical skills that will enrich the whole of your life and help to enrich the lives of many others. It can also lead to career opportunities in music as a performer, technician, teacher, director, composer, musicologist, conductor, or a music therapist. It can assist in careers such as primary and pre-school education where a teacher with music ability and knowledge are highly valued. Music has something to offer all students with an interest in music and a willingness to learn skills. The study of music develops the gifts and talents of the students and has been shown to assist in the development of cognitive processes and study skills. Prerequisites It is recommended that students who undertake Senior Music will have achieved a “C” in Year 10 Music. There are, however, some exceptions to this. Some students who have studied music privately may be well placed to take the senior course without having taken Year 10 Music at school. Any student who has not done junior classroom music, but who wishes to take senior music should speak to a classroom music teacher. Course Content Students learn to listen to, explore and deconstruct a variety of music, including rock, folk, classical, jazz, vocal and instrumental music. They learn composition skills and apply these to tasks that allow them to develop their own style. Performing involves playing an instrument, singing or conducting. Performing may include solo or ensemble experiences and can be chosen according to the individual student’s interests and strengths.
