Course Information:

In Year 11 Music you will experience:

  • Performances (both solo and group)

  • Composition (writing your own music)

  • Musical Knowledge (learning about musical styles, music literacies, social/historical context)

  • Listening Skills

  • Score studies

The various strands of this course work towards building a range of skills and understanding. It builds on the foundations of previous Music courses in Years 9 and 10. 

Students will focus on performing and composing (interpreting, making, and presenting music). They will also further their understanding of the language of music (theory and aural skills) and the cultural/historical context that informs and motivates change in music. Students will apply these skills and knowledge to new musical situations through the study of several pieces of music in a range of styles, eras, and composers. This will also impact your own composition and music-making.
