Our tutors will teach Year 7 students following the Australian curriculum, ensuring they achieve key outcomes in listening, performing, and creating music. By the end of Year 7, students analyse how musical elements and compositional devices are used in various styles and traditions. They develop their ability to compose and perform music, using aural skills to manipulate musical elements such as rhythm, pitch, dynamics, and expression. Students engage with diverse musical practices and traditions, including those of First Nations Australians, and reflect on how music communicates ideas and cultural identity.
Our tutors will ensure to cover all topics from the Year 7 Music curriculum:
Exploring and Responding:
Students explore music from different cultures and historical periods, analysing how elements like rhythm, melody, and harmony are used to convey meaning. They listen to live and recorded performances, discussing how musicians use expression and techniques to create impact.
Developing Practices and Skills:
Students practise vocal and instrumental techniques, focusing on developing accuracy and expression. They use aural skills to identify musical patterns and refine their ability to perform both solo and in ensembles, exploring different styles and genres.
Creating and Making:
Students compose music using a range of digital tools and traditional notation, experimenting with rhythm, melody, and harmony to create original pieces. They arrange and adapt existing music to suit different performance settings, documenting their compositions.
Presenting and Performing:
Students perform their own compositions and existing works, focusing on interpreting the style and mood of the pieces. They practise delivering confident and expressive performances, using feedback to refine their skills and communicate effectively with their audience.
