Yr 12 Music

This course builds on the knowledge and skills of Level 1 Music, incorporating seven different Achievement Standards which are studied concurrently throughout the year.  There continues to be an emphasis on performance skills and it is expected that students are currently receiving tuition in an instrument or in voice, either through the College or privately.

Achievement Objectives Level 6, 7 & 8 (Yr 11, 12 & 13)

Students will:

  • Research and analyse music from a range of styles and genre, in relation to contexts and reflect on the influence of music in their own lives.
  • Integrate aural, practical and theoretical skills in analyzing, applying and evaluating expressive features and conventions of music.
  • Create, structure, refine and represent compositions and arrangements and reflect on the composition process.
  • Plan, rehearse, present, record, evaluate and refine individual and group performances of music and reflect on music performances.

MUSC2.2 90265 2 Credits Present a music performance as a member of a group
MUSC2.3 90266 5 Credits Compose effective pieces of music

MUSC2.6 90269 2 Credits Demonstrate an understanding of the materials and processes of music in a range of scores.

Involvement in a music group such as the orchestra, choir, jazz group or rock bands would be a definite advantage for assessment purposes.  Students who have achieved Level 2 Performance credits in Year 11 may enrol in Level 3 credits for this part of the course.

For entry into Level 3 Music, students must achieve 14 or more credits at Level 2.
