2 Music

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Millar.

In this course learners will work individually and collaboratively to explore the potential of sounds and technologies for creating, interpreting, and representing music ideas. As they think about and explore innovative sound and media, students have rich opportunities to further their own creative potential. They will do this by: Rehearsing and performing in both a solo and group setting, investigating an aspect of New Zealand music and presenting their findings. They will also have the option to either devise an instrumentation for an ensemble, or they will have the opportunity to focus on the more technological side of music and attempt a Music Technology standard.  

Additional Course Specific Contributions & Equipment/Stationery

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.
