Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr W. Robinson.
Year 11 Music
Year 11 Music involves Performance, Composition, Musical Knowledge, Aural and Theory. Students will deliver performances in front of a small audience and will write two contrasting musical compositions. Students will receive aural training to enable them to more clearly hear the foundations of music. The student will learn to recognise the main elements of musical scores and will investigate two significant topics in music history. Students must be having instrumental/voice lessons outside of class.
Entry Criteria
This course is open entry for all students.
Year 11 Music is an open entry course, however, students should give consideration to which course (Year 11 Music Option or Year 11 Music Contemporary) would be the music appropriate.
Students selecting the 11MUS course should be fairly fluent in reading music, and be having lessons on an instrument (or voice) which they are capable of performing on to at least Grade 3 level. In practice this usually means that the student should have been learning their instrument for around 3 years.
