Music in the Senior School (Curricular)
Congratulations to Year 10 Rock Band Boulevarde 27 on their successful performance at Dom’s Day last Friday amongst all the other performers who self-developed their own artistic contributions. It was an enjoyable experience for all, and a wonderful addition to the day’s festivities.
In Stage 4, Year 8 began an exciting unit on film music, discovering how soundtracks shape emotional responses and enhance storytelling. Year 7s have been introduced to traditional Japanese music while simultaneously building foundational keyboard skills through learning popular song arrangements. There has been plenty of enthusiasm around our newest purchase of MIDI keyboards!
Year 9 are learning about the development of the Western orchestra from the 1600s, looking into how historical instrument designs influenced ensemble sound. Meanwhile, Year 10 are analysing orchestral scores from The Lord of the Rings, exploring modes and texture in their new unit, Music for Multimedia.
Wishing our Year 12 HSC and IB music students the very best as they prepare for their examinations, submissions and performances.
