Embedded Files
The Senior Music Workshop is a full-day program designed for Year 11 and 12 NSW public school students studying music for their HSC, along with their teachers. Arts education provides a vital platform for students to thrive, express, create, collaborate, learn, and excel, and this workshop supports their journey toward HSC success.
Led by experienced educators, the workshop deepens students’ understanding of HSC music examination requirements. Participants will engage in interactive sessions covering performance, musicology, and aural skills, strengthening their knowledge of key musical concepts and refining their creative and analytical abilities. There is also the potential for a small breakaway composition workshop.
