PERFORMING ARTS FACULTY

MUSIC PERFORMANCE

YEAR 8

Students will participate in class band workshops each week and will be given the opportunity to then perform these pieces at school events. Students will also have the opportunity to study solo performance and will develop their confidence at performing to their peers for feedback and evaluation. Students will improve their technique on their chosen instrument or voice, music literacy and performing with musicality. Alongside this students will study the AMEB Grade 1 Theory course.

​

This course is highly practical and performance based, and designed for students who have had previous experience learning their chosen instrument or voice. As a guide only, it is recommended that students have had at least 2 years of instrumental/vocal tuition or choir participation prior to commencing this course, unless they are a beginning brass or woodwind student. It is highly desirable that students who participate in this course, also undertake private instrumental lessons in addition to this class.

​

This is intended to be a full year course. Students wishing to complete Semester 2 only, will be required to independently make up skills and knowledge from Semester 1.  If selected for the entire year, a student will not complete two of the other four specialist subjects.
