For the best success, it is recommended that you have taken at least one Year 11 Music Course in the previous year. However, students who have demonstrated a passion for performing arts within or outside the school are also welcome to take this course.
Music at Level 2 will move in to two different areas, Making Music and Music Studies. At Ormiston Senior College students will be able to personalise their course choosing the learning which interests them.
There will be opportunities to
perform as a soloist and as a member of a group
create an orchestration for live instruments to play
compose music
investigate NZ music
refine and advance score reading skills
Students will be assessed on an assessment outline personalised by them. Their outline must have at least 18 credits. A course which is above this must be with TIC Music and LA approval. Most of the standards are an ongoing portfolio type assessment where they will take 3 terms of the year to finalise.
There will be Further Assessment Opportunities as indicated above. Students who wish to sit an FAO for an assessment will be notified of the date and time by the TIC. There are resubmission opportunities, no resit opportunities.
10 credits at Level 2 Music or a successful audition with TIC of Music
