  1. Performance, Composition, Musicology and Aural
  2. There is currently no Australian Curriculum for Years 11-12. However, there are a number of lesson tasks that would be very useful for those students studying music in Years 11-12.
    In NSW, 3 courses are offered - Music 1, Music 2, Extension.
    In Qld, 2 courses are offered - Music and Music Extension.
    In Vic, 1 course is offered.
  3. Music 1 builds on the Years 7-10 Mandatory course. It caters for students who have diverse musical backgrounds and musical interests, including those with an interest in popular music. It therefore attracts students with a formal musical background as well as those with only informal experience.
    Music 1 assumes no prior knowledge of musical notation beyond the basic introduction in the Years 7-10 Mandatory course. It recognises that students who have had no further involvement in Music beyond their introduction in the Mandatory course will need to revisit elementary musical skills and understanding.
  4. Music 2 builds on the Years 7-10 Mandatory and Elective courses and focuses on the study of Western art music. It assumes students have a formal background in music, have developed music literacy skills and have some knowledge and understanding of musical styles.
    Music 2 focuses on Western art music but requires students to place this study in a broader musical context. It provides opportunities for students to develop knowledge, skills and understanding in a wide range of musical styles and contexts, and a structure in which they can pursue an area of specialisation. Music 2 Outcomes are those shown in the Syllabus Outcomes tab.
  5. The Extension course builds on Music 2 and assumes a high level of music literacy, advanced performance skills or composition skills or musicology skills.
