NCEA L1 Music
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs B. Song.
Music is a rich part of the diverse cultures of Aotearoa New Zealand. It is a vital part of life for many communities and is an art form that can be used to express histories, knowledge bases, local contexts, language, and aspirations.
Through music, ākonga can develop a deeper understanding of themselves, and explore different contexts and kaupapa. Music can be a waka for ākonga to connect with their whakapapa and engage with contexts, spirituality, emotions, and the ideas of others. They can build confidence as artists by bringing their own experiences and cultures to their music making.
In Music, it is anticipated that ākonga ways of being in the world are harnessed to shape teaching, learning, and assessment. The experiences, knowledges, values, and worldviews of ākonga within te ao Māori and the Pacific region are integral to musical understanding and engagement in this subject. This means that a wide and inclusive range of musical concepts will be visible and drawn upon within teaching and learning programmes.
This is a general course for students interested in a career in the various music industries or entertainment fields. It develops skills in solo performance, group performances, composition notation dictation and reading and analysing orchestral music.
Students should be on their third year of instrumental tuition.
