As the academic year progresses, our students continue to excel and explore new musical horizons. Here is a snapshot of the latest developments in our music program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curricular <\/strong>Music in Years 7 and 8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whilst Year 8 are delving into some \u2018head-banging\u2019 music, listening and learning about songs from rock n\u2019 roll artists including Elvis Presley, Year 7 students are diligently preparing for the upcoming Gala performance, now less than a month away. Students should read the information on the Director of Music page to stay informed about transport and rehearsal logistics leading up to the Gala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elective Music in Years 9 and 10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 <\/strong>Moving into Years 9 and 10, students have recently completed their composition assessment tasks and are now engaging with new topics, exploring unfamiliar musical styles and genres including 20th century western art music and Jazz. Their exploration through performance, composition, and aural analysis, enables them to broaden their musical perspectives and deepen their appreciation for diverse musical traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSC and IB Music in Years 11 and 12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In IB Music, Year 11 have been experimenting with Virtual Reality in the College’s Lumination Labs, composing music through kinesthetic movement and 4D visual stimuli. This hands-on experience has provided students with an opportunity to explore a new creative process using non-traditional methods of notation. Year 12 continue with their core performance, composition and musicology projects, and are making sound progress to this end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
