Title: Year 12 Music
Pre-requisites:Students who have not had success in Junior Music will experience great difficulty with this subject as it relies on a strong foundation provided in Years 8 - 10. Alternatively, Music studies outside of school to Level 4 AMEB would be equivalent to the prerequisite.
Coordinator: Ms Sue Lonsdale Music encourages students to: - empathise with music in a variety of styles and contexts
- become musically literate and capable of communicating through music, and become informed, articulate participants in the musical life of the community
- have their cognitive, psychomotor and affective development enhanced through the study of music as a unique medium for communication and expression
- develop their critical faculty and intellect through activities that develop higher-order thinking skills and creative problem-solving abilities
- develop social and personal skills that promote group cooperation, responsibility, confidence and self-esteem
