Year 10 Music - Full Year

You can choose to study Music for a half or full year. This course is the FULL year option.

Year 10 Music prepares students for further studies in all areas of Performance, Aural Skills, Theory and Composition, Music Technology and Music History.

In Year 10 Music students can expect to take part in:

• Practical work on instruments through class band and individual performance.

• Music Theory & Aural Skill development.

• Music History & Context

• Composition using Sibelius and other computer based programmes.

• Extracurricular groups, tours, festivals, competitions and trips.

• Performance opportunities within school and also at local, national, and international levels.

• Recording opportunities

It is not a prerequisite to be learning an instrument in order to take Year 10 Music. However, there are many opportunities for students to learn through the Papanui High School Music Itinerant Teaching Scheme, and students intending to continue Music into Year 11 are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this.
