Music in the Middle Years
The Music program in Years 7 and 8 covers eight topics throughout the compulsory two year course, giving students a taste of the options available for study in the Year 9 Elective Music course.
The course builds on the skills learned in Primary and encourages all students to perform regularly in groups and as individuals. Students in Year 7 learn the foundations of Music using keyboard and are taught to read from the treble and bass clefs. In Year 8, students study Rock and Film music and have the option to vary their experiences by performing on acoustic, electric and bass guitar and drums. Many students elect to perform on another chosen instrument and are encouraged to participate in the instrumental tuition program to refine their musical skills.
