In the Preliminary and HSC courses, students will study the concepts of music through the learning experiences of performance, composition, musicology and aural within the context of a range of styles, periods and genres. In addition to the core learning experiences, students will develop skills to critically evaluate music, understand the impact of technology on music and develop personal values about music. At the end of the course students should have the skills, understanding and experiences for music making to have a significant continual role in their lives.
