Year 10 Music

Music in Year 10 develops every student’s newfound abilities from Year 9 Music. It is the next step for those musicians preparing for Year 11 Music.  Performance is a big aspect of music, with the pupils performing as a soloist and as a member of a group.  Some students may be working on NCEA standards in Year 10.  Please note that pupils are filmed and video footage produced before a live audience, and during class for assessment purposes.  Students can have instrument lessons during school time in piano, guitar, bass and drums.

• Read and write music notation
• Learn chords and how to play them on an instrument
• Learn to write lyrics
• Compose songs in groups based on the chords they have learned
