Recommended Prior LearningPrior study in a Music course is highly recommended but may not be essential
This course challenges students to perform, compose and understand more complex aspects of music. Students will broaden their academic knowledge by looking at how instruments work together and will start making meaningful links between the practical side of music and its written form. Students will develop their creativity in composition by using a range of music technologies, as well as developing their ability to perform in front of others. Students are able to choose which standards they take, leading to a course that will suit their particular interest and pathway in music. This course is suitable for students who are passionate about music, regardless of what genre they are interested in! There are many opportunities for students to perform publicly throughout the year including The Big Sing, the Barn Vocalists night, Rock the Boathouse, Southern Jam, JazzQuest, The Aurora Festival, Between Two Colleges Concert, RockQuest, primary schools tours and more. There are also numerous opportunities to perform within the classroom and wider school environment too.
All students taking this course are eligible for subsidised instrumental music lessons for their chosen instrument.
Students will select a programme of Standards from the list offered, to create an appropriate personalised course of approximately 20 credits. This is done in consultation with the teacher.
