Year 10 – Music Performance (Year-long)
Year 10 – Music Performance (Year-long)
Overview
This subject begins to expand students in their understanding of music and performance. Students develop their skills in solo and group performance, analysing musical elements that a performer has control over. Students develop their musicianship and understanding of notation conventions and are assessed on both theoretical and aural skills, transcribing musical ideas. Students develop analysis skills, first to understand specific elements that performers manipulate but then apply these skills to study creative works in depth. They complete an album study, looking at the musical and lyrical content of a creative work and then putting it in the context of the time it was written, studying social and political influences on the work. In second semester, students begin to look more at compositional devices with the idea of documenting and notating musical ideas.
