L1 Digital Music 

Course Outline

This is a mixed level class from Yr 11 - 13 focused on the skills used for the creation, recreation and development of music rooted in theoretical knowledge through the analysis of music skills and styles using Music Technology.  At Level 1 there are three standards that are all compulsory.   The class will be a mix of whole class learning, Flipped Classroom (Self managed learning) alongside a more tutorial style of teaching to allow greater choice of student interest and choice of standards.

• Composition – using  DAWS and Notation software ( if you have your own software that would be advantageous)  Led by student interest and looking to the Tertiary courses and Creative Industries such as Media and Film.

• Aural – recreating music by listening to the layers of sound and working them out.  Including rhythmic, harmonic and melodic dictation.

• Researching and analysing music to understand context influences.

• Basic keyboard skills to support aural, research, analysis and composition skills.

Recommendations for subject entry:

• It is advantageous to have taken either Yr 10 Music course or have a portfolio of work on a DAW/ score writing software to show current level of understanding and skill.

• By consultation with HoD Music
