9MUS – Year 9 Music – 1 Semester

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Pitt.

This Year 9 course is open to all students. Music is a great subject for anyone who enjoys playing an instrument, singing, listening to music, learning about music and performing. The course is practical with an emphasis on performance, group performance and computer composition and sound recording. Equipment enables students to record their compositions and produce their own recordings. Students do not have to be able to play an instrument, but may wish to learn one in class or from the itinerant scheme.

 

Students have the opportunity to:

  • work at their own level in individualised and highly practical program
  • develop their performance abilities through playing and singing, both individually and in groups
  • explore their creative potential through composition either as an individual or in a band
  • use and explore music technology, particularly computers and keyboards and the beginnings of sound recording
  • prepare for and sit appropriate grades of the internationally recognised Associated Board of the Royal Schools’ Theory Examination if they wish.

 

There will be an opportunity to visit, and be recorded in, a recording studio.
