Music is a practical, hands-on subject that develops your creativity and imagination, and your musical skills. You will have the opportunity to perform a variety of music in solo and/or group settings using your voice or your chosen instrument(s).
You will also develop your skills in composing, arranging and improvising music, and learn about the social and cultural factors that influence music.
The course has three compulsory units, plus an added value unit that assess your practical skills. Performing Skills (6 SCQF credit points), Composing Skills (6 SCQF credit points), Understanding Music (6 SCQF credit points) and Music Performance Added Value (6 SCQF credit points)
Your work will be assessed by your teacher on an ongoing basis throughout the course. The added value unit will be assessed through a performance of a programme of music.
