Year 9 Music Performance

Students selecting this course must be prepared to put time into the learning of a musical instrument.  

This course will meet the needs of both beginners and those with prior music learning as students will gain skills to take them forward as musicians on their chosen instrument. They will create original music using a variety of technologies to express their imaginative ideas. Students will gain greater awareness of the importance of written notation and a deeper understanding of the importance of music in our lives through study of a major work.

Topics covered include: Performance on an instrument; identifying symbols of music/guitar tab; discussion and analysis of music by recognised artists; concentrated listening (aural skills); creating own music and writing this down in some form.
