NCEA Level 2 Music
Course Description
In this course we will build on skills gained in Level 1 music as the requirement for performance at Level 2 requires ‘substantial’ repertoire for solo and group performances.
All performances will take place before an audience.
We will compose our own original pieces and songs using genre-appropriate musical conventions to capture and represent our substantial ideas.
We will explore in-depth, contextual and analytical concepts about two substantial pieces of music.
