Senior Performance Music
Course Description
Contact Person: B. Banks.
This is a new course that is designed for students who wish to take 'double music'. Students who take this course will have already selected either 12 Music or 13 Music, see music as a serious career pathway or passion, and wish to be able to devote more time to further develop their skills in music. This course is also an option for students who wish to take regular 11Music, 12Music or 13Music but have a subject clash. This course would also be ideal for students wanting to sit Scholarship Music and wish to have more time to devote to achieving this goal. An individual program will be developed with every student taking this course - a wide range of internal and externally assessed Achievement Standards are available in music at all levels in NCEA. See Mr Banks if you want to know more about what this course can offer.
