Year 10 Music
updated Feb 2022
In this 20 week course, students develop fluency, musicianship, and technical control as they rehearse and present individual and group performances. They play and sing individually and in groups, using appropriate techniques and performance practices. They reflect on and evaluate their own performances and make critical judgments about the interpretation of music in others’ performances. Students prepare, rehearse, refine, present, and direct musical works. They listen to, read, and interpret music, and they develop understandings of composers’ and arrangers’ intentions and of cultural protocols. They explore how technologies contribute to performance, and they record their own and others’ performances
Students will prepare, rehearse, present, record, and evaluate individual and group performances of contrasting pieces, in keeping with the composers’ intentions and in style.
