Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Millar.

This newly created course is designed for ākonga to develop their composition/song writing, contextual studies, music concepts, and performance practice around the study of music that is primarily indigenous to Aotearoa New Zealand and the heritage of te ao Māori, the roots and influence of the Pacific, and inclusivity of music from around the world that Aotearoa New Zealand musicians have embodied to create our own evolving, diverse, colourful, and innovative musical sounds and legacy.

They will also have the opportunity to focus on the more technological side of music, having the option to attempt a Music Technology standard. 

Additional Course Specific Contributions & Equipment/Stationery

Dedicated learner laptop (Chrome book suitable) with learners own headset recommended.
The College has a variety of well-maintained Instruments for Hire at an extra cost of $20 per term. Usually, instruments are hired by learners taking a Music course or Instrument tuition; however, it may be possible for other College learners to hire instruments if they are wishing to use them in one of our performance groups.
