Year 10 Music Technology

This is a practical course focusing on a mix of music technology, composition, practical music on a chosen instrument. This course is centred around different projects where students learn the basics of composing, recording and making music videos. The modules in Year 10 are streamlined to allow students to take music in Year 11 and look at the following:

Students compose original music through use of different software (Garageband, Soundtrap, Sibelius, Musescore) and instruments such as guitar and piano.

Practical music: this module runs throughout the semester and students have practical workshops with a specialist teacher. Students perform as part of a group, or as an individual. 

Music Technology: students learn about aspects of sound gear and technology and how to set it up, and record music - both live and in a studio. Music technology is utilised to create different kinds of music.
