Our tutors will teach Year 9 students following the Australian curriculum, ensuring they achieve key outcomes in listening, performing, and creating music. By the end of Year 9, students analyse how composers and performers use musical elements to engage audiences and communicate ideas. They develop their skills in composing and performing, using aural abilities to refine their music-making. Students explore a range of musical styles, including contemporary and traditional practices, and reflect on how cultural and social contexts shape music.
Our tutors will ensure to cover all topics from the Year 9 Music curriculum:
Exploring and Responding:
Students explore a variety of music from different cultures and times, analysing how musical elements like rhythm, melody, and harmony are used. They reflect on the role of music in expressing cultural identity, including the contributions of First Nations Australian artists.
Developing Practices and Skills:
Students practise their vocal and instrumental skills, focusing on improving accuracy, expression, and ensemble performance. They develop aural skills to interpret pitch, rhythm, and dynamics, using this knowledge to enhance their performances.
Creating and Making:
Students compose original music, experimenting with musical elements and digital tools. They use notation to document their compositions and refine their work to convey specific themes or emotions.
Presenting and Performing:
Students rehearse and perform music for various audiences, focusing on communicating their musical ideas effectively. They use feedback to improve their performances and explore different settings for presenting their music.
