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.

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.
