Year 9 Music

This course gives you the opportunity to discover your love for Music and to begin developing skills as a musician.  We will support you to discover your potential as you begin learning and support you to extend skills you already have.  We have a wide range of musical instruments, great equipment and technology that you can try.  Many of our wonderful senior music students started learning Music for the first time ever in this course, without any prior experience or skills.  Our Music teachers can't wait to meet you and help you on your own personal music-making journey.   

This is a practical music making course, mostly focusing on the acoustic guitar. You will learn to perform songs using basic TAB and chords in addition to creating short compositions using acoustic instruments as well as computer software. 

You will develop some knowledge of music theory and extend any prior knowledge you bring to the course.  You will develop skills in being able to write and read music using standard notation by engaging with online worksheets and activities.  

In this course you can work at your own pace depending on your skills.  You will participate in a variety of learning activities.  You will listen to music, learn new songs, write short pieces of music using your own level of skill, and learn how to perform your work. You will start at your own level of learning, then grow your skills and confidence from there.   It doesn't matter if you are completely new to Music and have no prior experience.  Learning activities are a mixture of individual tasks and group work.

Music is amazing!  Music is fun!  Our Music Department is supportive and fun!

Get started on your learning journey in this 9MUS course so we can support you to grow your skills in all sorts of ways, beginning in Year 9 and on into the following years.  You might even end up in a band!
