L2 Music
L2MUSC Subject DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr M. Bodman.
Required Prior LearningEntry is subject to approval by HOD and dependent on proven performance in Year 11. The expectation is that students will have gained at least 14 credits in L1MUSC (Year 11). Participation in Ōtūmoetai College groups is strongly recommended. All students studying L2MUSC must learn a musical instrument or voice for the year, either privately or through the school-run Itinerant Music programme.
This course provides students with a comprehensive programme 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), compose music, develop listening and score reading skills and study music works and their contexts.
Many elements of this course will incorporate Music and Sound technology.
Students will be assessed to a selection of Music Achievement Standards.
Assessment is a combination of both internally and externally assessed standards.
