Course Summary

Are you interested in how music is made, performed, and shared? Do you want to develop your own sound as a solo or group musician? Studying Year 10 Music helps you build practical performance, songwriting, and listening skills. You will learn how to practise effectively, explore different styles of music, and create your own original tracks. This subject prepares you directly for senior music pathways by focusing on three main areas: performing, analysing, and creating. It is recommended that students learn a musical instrument through the WSSC Instrumental Music Program or from private tutors.

Learning Activities & Assessment

• Performing: Rehearse on your chosen instrument or voice, build your confidence, and perform live for an audience. You will also maintain a practice journal to track your rehearsal progress, reflect on your improvement, and meet your performance goals. 

• Analysing: Listen to a wide variety of musical styles to learn how songs are structured and put together, developing your overall listening skills and musicianship. 

• Creating: Use music software and instruments to compose, arrange, shape, and record your own original musical pieces.
