YEAR 8 MUSIC

All Year 8 Music students are currently participating in Music - Mandatory Course. The aim of this study is to ‘provide students with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary for active engagement and enjoyment in performing, composing and listening, and to allow a range of music to have a continuing role in their lives’ Music Years 7-10 Syllabus.

To maximise student engagement and achievement all Year 8 students have been asked to have the following equipment for each Music lesson.

• A Music exercise book – preferably with manuscript
• Pens and pencils
• A charged laptop for each lesson
• Headphones that connect to your laptop.

What are Year 8 Music students doing?

Classes are currently developing their knowledge, understanding and skills in the concepts of music through performing on keyboards, composing using MuseScore and listening by communicating ideas about music from various contexts. Students are learning to both value and appreciate Music in their daily lives. Moving into Term 2 students will be diversifying their performance skills with performance options extended into vocal, guitar and ukulele opportunities
