Music in the Senior School (Curricular)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s been an exciting start to the year as we welcome our new Year 7 cohort and continue the musical journey with Year 8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Year 7, students are diving into the fundamentals of music with a focus on ‘The Building Bricks of Music’, while also honing their singing skills through partner songs. Meanwhile, Year 8 students are delving into the rich history of popular music, tracing its roots from African influences to the emergence of Rock ‘n’ Roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our Year 9 and 10 Elective students, this term marks a deep exploration of the six Concepts of Music through engaging aural tasks and expanding their music literacy. Year 9 will explore Theatre Music, with a spotlight on Opera, Ballet, and Musicals, while Year 10 will embark on a journey through composition and Australian Music, with a particular focus on Indigenous and contemporary classical music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for our Year 11 IB and HSC courses, students are delving into the senior curriculum, applying their elective knowledge to set work analysis, composition, and performance opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 12 IB and HSC students are diligently preparing their portfolios, compositions, performances, and set work analyses for their final submissions and exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re also thrilled to announce that all elective music classes have been invited to attend this year’s ENCORE performance, showcasing the exceptional talents of the 2023 cohort from across NSW. We’re especially proud to highlight Eva Whitbread from our 2023 Music 1 class, who was chosen from thousands of candidates to showcase her talents at this prestigious event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s to a year filled with musical exploration, growth, and celebration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
