Year 7 SPECIALIST PROGRAMME 

Year 7 Specialist Programme involves 2 blocks of 80 minutes per week for 5 weeks. 

Your own headphones are essential to complete this course.

In class, students will learn basic Music Theory and play the Ukulele and the Keyboard using Garage Band's music computer software.

Keyboard Lessons

Students are required to complete practical music Keyboard lessons with a teacher using the computer programme Garage Band and a MIDI- keyboard. Gaining at least 60% allows students to continue to the next lesson.

Music Theory 

Ukulele Performance Task

Students will start by learning  4 Ukulele chords Am, C, G, and F. This will allow them to play several popular songs like  Shake it off, Counting Star, Count on Me and many more.

Student Achievement:

Completing a Ukulele performance task - students can receive an

A= Achieved.  The student demonstrates a simple performance of the music and meets the expected standard.

M=Merit. The student shows confidence and performs a wider range of skills, including accurate reading and tempo above the expected standard.

E= Excellence. The student performs accurately and confidently with all aspects of the music.

Suppose a student receives a Not Achieved. We will work closely with that student to modify the programme to assist them in succeeding. If a student is experiencing difficulty, I will contact the parents at that time. 

Students should be able to complete this course successfully with no prior instrumental instruction. Thank you for your interest in your child’s learning; please feel free to contact us about your child.
