Music


Music has the capacity to engage, inspire and enrich all students, exciting the imagination and encouraging students to reach their creative and expressive potential. Skills and techniques developed through participation in music learning allow students to manipulate, express and share sound as listeners, composers and performers. Music learning has a significant impact on the cognitive, affective, motor, social and personal competencies of students.

Through focused, weekly sessions led by a specialist teacher students participate in a curriculum that is contemporary, relevant, challenging and enjoyable.

The Music curriculum aims to develop students’: 

  • confidence to be creative, innovative, thoughtful, skilful and informed musicians 
  • skills to listen, improvise, compose, interpret, perform, and respond with intent and purpose 
  • aesthetic knowledge and respect for music and music practices across global communities, cultures and musical traditions 
  • understanding of music as an aural art form, its relationship with other arts forms  and contributions to cultures and societies.
