Music

Year 10 Music builds on Year 9 Music and introduces learners to a broad range of musical skills and knowledge. A large focus is given early on to finding a main instrument (or voice) and developing skills on that instrument. Learners will be developing performance and music creation skills and techniques, with multiple opportunities to apply these throughout the year. Basic recording and music technology skills are taught and used for creating original music. Learners also study about music in different contexts, music literacy, and listening skills. 

Course focus

• Performance — solo and group

• Composition / songwriting – individually and as a group

• Musical knowledge
