L1MUS

NCEA Level 1 Music

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.

Students are encouraged to learn a musical instrument and are prioritized in the Itinerant Music Scheme.

The development of skills over time is valuable in many industries, and while being a musician may not be your career goal, having passion and long term drive to succeed at a goal makes Music a subject that is sought after in a wide variety of professional careers.

Recommended Prior Learning

Ideally, students should already be learning a musical instrument.

Pathway

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.
