At Stage 1 Music students perform as soloists and in ensembles, and complete a composition, arrangements and reflection on their work. They can choose to focus on additional performances or more analysis and theory. Music Theatre/Voice can be chosen within this course. 

At Stage 2 students can choose:  

• a full-year 20-unit course from Music Studies, Music Explorations or Music Performance (Solo AND Ensemble)  

• a full-year 10-unit Music Performance (Solo OR Ensemble)  

• Music Studies or Music Explorations (20 units) AND Solo or Ensemble (10 units)  

• Music Studies or Music Explorations (20 units) AND both Solo AND Ensemble (20 units)  

Completing Solo or Ensemble without the other usually does not contribute towards ATAR.  These choices are made in negotiation with their Music Teacher and through Course Counselling. Solo, Explorations and Ensemble (with a weekly lunchtime band) can be quite independent and can be completed offline by motivated and independent students.   

Please note Music incurs an additional subject levy from year 8 to 12.

Students who choose to participate in Instrumental Music lessons will be charged the $110 per semester Music Subject Fee.

• If your young person participates in both Music and Instrumental Music, you will not be charged twice. The Music Subject Fee covers their participation in both.
• If your young person participates in Instrumental Music only and does not take a Music class, the Music Subject Fee still applies.
