Level 1 Music
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss R. Carson.
This course offers Level 1 Music standards of the new NCEA curriculum.
Students will learn and develop their musicianship through four strands of the new curriculum - performing music, creating original music through notated compositions, demonstrating understanding of music concepts and music contexts. Students will be nationally assessed on two standards - performance and composition.
In addition to these national standards, students will also be developing skills in Aural, Score Reading, and Music Technology.
They will have the opportunity to complete a Level 2 standard in Instrumentation using Sibelius software.
A requirement of this course is that students are learning an instrument through either the itinerant music programme, or with a private teacher, and are contributing to the co-curricular music programme of the school.
