Music in the Senior Years

Music in the Senior School (Curricular)

As Ms Werlemann embarks on maternity leave, we extend a warm welcome to Niamh Armstrong, who will be stepping in to lead her classes. With a wealth of knowledge spanning various age groups with an expertise in strings, Ms Armstrong is poised to guide our students with excellence. We also extend our best wishes and gratitude to Ms Tsang and Mr Choe as they step into the shared leadership role as Head of Curriculum.

Exciting developments are underway in the senior years of our music program:

Year 7 and 8: Students are wrapping up their performance assessment tasks and embarking on a new journey as composers for their upcoming composition assessment task due early next term.

Year 9 and 10: Continuing to sharpen their musicology, theory, and aural skills, students are also gearing up for their performance assessment tasks. We eagerly anticipate witnessing the fruits of their hard work and preparation.

Year 11 HSC: Students are refining their aural skills through sight-singing activities and melodic dictations, all while preparing for their performance assessment task in Week 11.

Year 12 Music 2 HSC: Having submitted their first draft of the HSC composition, students are awaiting external marking after the final submission. Meanwhile, Year 12 Music 1 students have commenced rehearsals with the Stage Band for their final recitals and are gearing up for their first HSC performance in week 11.

Year 11 and 12 IB: These students have already submitted their first assessment tasks for the year, encompassing composition, analysis, and reflection components of their portfolios. Their diligence, dedication, and enthusiasm toward these tasks are reflected in their pursuit of excellence and creativity, which is truly inspiring to witness. Well done, everyone!

Stay tuned for more updates and achievements from our vibrant music program.
