Level 3 Music

This course helps develop the more experienced musician. Composers begin to work out their unique viewpoints and how to communicate these, and performers start to develop into more convincing artists. Performing and composing can also be combined to suit a particular context such as RockQuest, or composing a piece of music to perform in one of the school groups. All students will be given the option to broaden their understanding of notation by completing one or more external standard if they wish. 

Students are able to create an individualised course from the large number of standards that are on offer. This allows students to work within their musical strengths and interests, and to start to specialise in their chosen pathway in music. 

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.

All students taking this course are eligible for subsidised instrumental music lessons for their chosen instrument.
