« Back to Music
Music is a fundamental form of personal and cultural expression. By making, sharing and responding to music, students have opportunities to nurture their own creative potential as well as lay a foundation for lifelong enjoyment of and participation in music.
This course continues to build skills in solo and group performance on an instrument or with voice. It also provides further study of composition, music knowledge, score reading and music technology (only in consultation with the senior teacher).
All students need their own instrument and access to a music mentor within their own community.
As a way of acknowledging students’ strengths in broader performing arts disciplines, some Level 2 dance standards are also offered within this course.
Students should have three or more years of music learning. To undertake the dance standards students should have completed Level 1 dance standards and have three or more years experience in either dance or Māori performing arts or both.
