This course requires 2 options.
Year 10 Music Band
Course Description
Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Mr S. Granshaw.
Music Band is a full year course covering both semesters.
BE PART OF THE BAND! 10MUB is a practical music-making course and you will continue on from where you left off in 9MUB. The instrument you chose in 9MUB will likely be the one you play in 10MUB, but you may choose to change. The 10MUB course is going to help you develop your musicianship and enhance your skills as you tackle more challenging pieces of music, working as part of a large group or as a solo musician. You will compose musical pieces for your own and other instruments using specialist software for composition, such as ProTools, Sibelius and Soundtrap. The practical aspects of 10MUB will be underpinned by more advanced musical theory which will be used to enhance your compositions.
As a participant in this course you will also be an active musician in one of the school music groups. You will attend in-school itinerant music lessons and have an instrument at home to use for practicing every day. Instruments are available from the school FREE of charge. Students will choose from the following: Trumpet, trombone, clarinet, saxophone, bass or percussion.
10MUB is an ideal option choice if you completed the 9MUB course.

Many Pukekohe High School graduates have gone on to study Music at tertiary level, training to become professional musicians, tutors, or sound and studio technicians. Many others have continued to pursue life-long active enjoyment of music in their personal lives.
Studying Music at school is not just for students who wish to follow a career path in Music. Skills and key competencies learnt in this subject are transferable to a wide range of careers. Research has shown that students who take Music develop more self-confidence, are conditioned to work hard for results, are more creative, are better at problem-solving and analysing patterns (Mathematics), can work better in a group, and connect with others better.
