In Year 10 Music, students are expected to specialise in one instrument and develop their performance skills in both group and solo contexts. It
is expected that students undertaking the subject will be having weekly instrumental music lessons on their instrument of specialisation, whether that is through the College or an external provider.
Year 10 Music is a 50/50 split between performance and theory, therefore a willingness to contribute to class performance is essential. In addition to performance, students will spend time each week developing theory and listening and response skills that are appropriate to further study in VCE Music.
Content/Skill
▶ Specialised instrument performance in either a solo and/or group context
