Stage 1 Music
Subject Description
Music Explorations emphasises learning through exploring and experimenting with music. Through exploration of musical styles and influences, the elements of music, and how music is made, students process and synthesise the key learning that has taken place.
This subject is flexible in its design, allowing options to explore performing, composing, arranging and explore the use of music technology.
Through practical application of their understanding of musical elements, students learn to analyse and deconstruct music, manipulate sound and create musical works that express their ideas and emotions.
By the end of the course, students will have applied their knowledge and understanding of musical literacy to assessments that have a common link. The student will have developed skills in presenting music, composing, and describing music.
The final assessment task integrates skills from the year’s learning.
Student's provide evidence of their learning through five assessments designed in conjunction with the cohort to incorporate each student's musical interests and strengths.
- Musical Literacy
- Explorations
- Creative Connections
