L3 Music

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr M. Bodman.

This course provides students with a comprehensive programme further developing the student as a holistic musician. 

Students will select from a combination of standards suited to their skill set and preferred musical pathway. 

They will have the opportunity to perform in both solo and group contexts on their primary and second instruments (if they are specialising in more than one instrument), develop studio and music technology skills, create and record original music, research a music topic, and develop music theory skills through analysis.

Students will be assessed to a selection of Music Achievement Standards.
Assessment is a combination of both internally and externally assessed standards.


Required Prior Learning

Entry is subject to approval by HOD and dependent on proven performance in Year 12. The expectation is that students will have gained at least 14 credits in L2MUSC (Year 12). Participation in Ōtūmoetai College groups is strongly recommended.  All students studying L3MUSC must learn a musical instrument or voice for the year, either privately or through the school-run Itinerant Music programme.
