10 Music Performance Technology
10MUP Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr M. Cameron.
Recommended Prior LearningBecause of the performance component, it is recommended that students have either a private or itinerant instrumental/voice teacher.
Option music students are encouraged to sing in at least one choral group and to belong to an appropriate instrumental group within the school if they play an instrument.
This course is part of a progressive programme from Year 9 to Year 13 and forms the basis for our Year 11 MUP101 course.
The content will be derived from the NZ Music Curriculum and will be matched for students to progress to our Year 11 courses:
Students who select this course will
· Perform music - both in groups and as a soloist
- Create original music and demonstrate understanding of elements of music
· Understanding Music in Context (including Maori Music)
This practically based course aims to encourage tolerance and understanding of a wide range of musical styles through researching different genres of music, individual and group performance (both vocal and instrumental), and equip the students with skills to create and compose their own music.
