Level 1 Music is intended to give students a well-rounded experience by performing music, composing music, developing music skills and understanding music in relation to contexts. Students will have the ability to develop as musicians within the genre or style that they are passionate about and will learn to use a variety of music technologies. Students are encouraged to perform and compose music as a part of a group. School groups include the Jazz Band, Orchestra, Choir, Chamber Music groups, RockQuest and Tangata Beats bands (including the Solo/Duo category). The performances or compositions that are developed within these groups can be used for assessments throughout the year. We also provide students opportunities in a variety on contexts throughout the year to perform publicly.
All students taking this class are eligible for instrumental music lessons for their chosen instrument.
