Year 10 Music - Half Year

Year 10 Music

Do you enjoy making, listening to, or creating music? This course is your chance to explore all sides of music while building skills that will help you in the future. You’ll get to:

• Perform and develop your confidence on an instrument or voice

• Train your ear and sharpen your listening skills

• Learn the basics of music theory and composition

• Experiment with music technology

• Discover how music has developed over time

This course also opens the door to the Year 10 Extension Music programme. It’s a great choice if you’re keen on music but still deciding whether to keep studying it long term.

Ākonga will have opportunities to participate in and work on…

• Performances as an individual and as a member of class groups

• Extracurricular groups, tours, festivals, competitions and trips

• Recording studio sessions to create recordings of composed works and live performances

• Exploring the use of Tāonga Pūoro in music and composition

• Building a solid foundation of the fundamentals of music and theory

Although learning an instrument is not a prerequisite to join year 10 music, it is encouraged that ākonga take advantage of the incredible itinerant music scheme we have at Papanui High School.
