Year 9: Rock Music (the most popular topic).
Classical Music
Australian Music
Year 10: Australian Music (continued)
Music for Small Ensembles
Music and Technology (my topic choice)
I have made careful note of everybody's suggestions and when designing the topics, I will ensure that we try to cover as many of those as we can. For example, we can explore jazz music when studying Australian Music by looking at Australian jazz music, etc.
The next step is to determine what focus areas you would like to explore within each of these topics. As your Music Teacher, there are some focus areas within these topics that I will select to extend your appreciation of different styles of music (this is very important as young musicians), however, I would like to know what and who interests you in a musical context.
For each of the 5 topics above, please indicate a style, composer/band/artist, skill that you would like to learn about. This is due on the blog by 5pm Friday this week.
For example, take Rock Music. You may want to specifically focus on Punk Rock, and the music of Blink 182, and learn how to compose a rock song using Garageband.
In each topic, there will be a number of different focus areas in order to try to meet everybody's needs and interests.
If you aren't sure what to nominate, come and pay me a visit and ask me some questions.
Check the blog the following Monday for our next step: Assessment Tasks.
