NCEA Level 2 Music
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Melissa Tsoi.
In this course we will build on skills gained in Level 1 music as the requirement for performance at Level 2 requires ‘substantial’ repertoire for solo and group performances.
All performances will take place before an audience.
We will compose our own original pieces and songs using genre-appropriate musical conventions to capture and represent our substantial ideas.
We will explore in-depth, contextual and analytical concepts about two substantial pieces of music.
Recommended Prior Learning
Students should have taken Level 1 Music and gained at least 14 credits. You must be actively learning an instrument or having voice lessons, either through itinerant music lessons at school, or in regular private music lessons.
The expectation is that you will attend at least one instrumental or vocal lesson, in school time, once a week.
Note: each student will have a personalised course that could contain extra standards not mentioned below.
