Year 10 Music

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Lynn Jamieson.

Music studies help develop language and reasoning, imagination and intellectual curiosity. Instrumental tuition teaches self discipline. The new economy has created more artistic careers and Music study helps prepare students to work collaboratively and creatively in the 21st workforce. You will grow in self awareness and self confidence and learn to take risks in a safe environment. You will be encouraged to pursue your avenues of strength in Composition and Performance but will also be offered the opportunity to broaden your musical horizons by participating in school Music ensembles, taking advantage of lessons in the Itinerant Music Scheme, strengthening interpersonal skills through group performance and exploring different vehicles for Composition. Theoretical skills are encouraged with the opportunity to sit external Grade examinations for these.

It is expected that all students will have lessons on their chosen instrument (voice is an instrument) either privately or through the itinerant scheme at school.

Pre-requisites

It is advantageous for students to have completed the year 9 rotation, to have had a year's tuition on an instrument (voice is an instrument) or to be already writing music of their own (songs or using a DAW such as Garageband, Soundtrap etc). If they do not meet these requirements they may still apply for the option but netry will be at the discretion of the TIC Music.
