11MUS

Level 1 Music

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Roberson.

Senior Music will be a brand new course at John Paul II in 2025. Students will learn about Music across the four major disciplines:

- Performing

- Composing

- Musicology (research)

- Theory and Aural Skills

Within the course there will be an opportunity to perform both as a soloist and as a member of a band or ensemble. Senior Music students will be given first priority for itinerant lessons in piano, singing, guitar, drums and bass. Students who also learn a musical instrument privately are strongly encouraged to take this course as it should provide further opportunity for performance and the development of skills in their instrument. The opportunity to learn how to read and write music will also be presented along with individual research topics that centre around a student's interests in musical genre.

Music is an academic subject and is proven to support neurological development. Students who take Music may do so with the intention of following a Music pathway, however the subject is also an excellent companion to those looking to pursue tertiary pathways in other fields due to its cognitive development potential.
