10 Music

This course continues to build upon students’ musical skills from Year 9. If students wish to take NCEA Level 1 Music, it is advised students take this course. Students taking Year 10 Music will be enrolled for two terms so that they can be fully prepared for NCEA Level 1. This means you will be able to choose two other options for the year.

Attendance at itinerant instrument lessons is a requirement. These lessons are provided free once a week and include lessons in piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums, vocals, saxophone, trumpet and trombone. This course allows students to participate in group work as students form bands and work collaboratively on performance projects. Students learn skills in songwriting, music production and will compose and record original songs to perform in front of a live audience.
