Year 9

Visual & Performing Arts Elective

Music is a unique form of artistic expression and communication. Through experiences in music students gain knowledge and skills, which enrich and expand life’s interests. Students will be engaged practically with a range of musical instruments and the opportunity to perform.

Content/skills
This unit will provide students with the opportunity to develop their practical skills in performance, in conjunction with music reading and writing. Students undertaking this elective will have had some musical performance experience and some knowledge of musical notation. Assessment tasks will include group performances together with a research project and theory tasks.

Selection advice

Instrumental tuition from a qualified teacher and owning an instrument would be preferable, but not essential. This unit would suit students with an interest in music, and particularly those who wish to study music through to VCE.

Links to further pathways

This unit would be an advantage to those students intending to complete VCE Music or VET Music Production.
