Music:
Students can choose to study Music in Year 7 and 8 for a semester. At Year 9 and Year 10 students can choose one or two semesters.  

Students study theory at their own level, write about their own work and analyse others to learn how to express musical ideas. Students are assessed on their skills, knowledge and understanding in practical, written and aural tasks.  

Music students also attend weekly instrumental lessons on an instrument of their choice and perform in class ensembles, choir and/or bands. 

Year 7 students learn the basic skills of reading and writing music, are introduced to classical music, experience playing a few instruments and play as an ensemble.

In Year 8, students develop skills in composition and learn about Jazz, Film Music and Careers in Music

In Year 9 students develop skills in composition and in the analysis of Australian Rock Music.

In Year 10, students develop skills in composition and arrangement using music software. They analyse works from The Classical Era, Women in Australian Popular Music and Jazz.
