Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr M. Buick.

This is a course for students who have had previous tuition on their chosen instrument(s).  The Level 1 NCEA Music course is based around a range of musical skills including performance, listening skills, composition, music technology and music analysis skills.

Disclaimer

Southland Boys' High School endeavours to timetable courses depending on students' needs, interests and future plans.  Many factors can influence whether a course is able to be offered in the following year.  These can include:

  • Student demand
  • Staff availability
  • Resourcing

These factors can also impact on timetabling, and as a result students will be asked for input about any clashes that may occur.

Where a course is not able to be run, students' back-up subjects will be used.  If there are issues with student selections and the timetabling process, students will have the opportunity to make a decision in conjunction with staff input on the best solution.
