« Back to Music
Music is a fundamental form of personal and cultural expression. By making, sharing and responding to music, ākonga have opportunities to nurture their own creative potential as well as lay a foundation for lifelong enjoyment of and participation in music.
This course focuses on extending practical music making including composition, arranging and music technology as well as providing topics to increase musical literacy and music research skills.
Ākonga need their own instrument and access to a music mentor within their own community.
New Zealand Scholarship exams are designed to extend very high achieving Level 3 ākonga. Those who wish to enter the New Zealand Scholarship exam in this subject must discuss this option with their Te Kura subject kaiako.
Ākonga should have four or more years of music learning or equivalent.
