What will I learn?

This introductory course will teach you music knowledge and listening skills, how to play simple music pieces and basic music theory. Additionally, the course provides plenty of performance opportunities for students to showcase their talent in both solo and group form.

Specific course units have been listed below (Table 1).

Structure of the course

Each semester will consist of 2 terms of 9 weeks with 4 hours of instructions per week. 

Adult students will be required to come in for one full day per week. In total, the students should be spending 4 hours on instructions. Extra time will be given to student for private practice, rehearsals and performances per week.

Highschool students will either undertake the qualification at school (9 week school terms), or attend our campus one to two days a week (9 week terms). Additional hours per week will be allocated to private practice, rehearsals, performances and attendance of concerts.

Distant adult and highschool students do not have a set due date for completion of their course, however we recommend these students to set an individual deadline for themselves (~1 year). Our External Representative staff will stay in contact with these students to confirm their progress. *Distant Grade 12 students wanting to use their certificate to add to their QCE points or support their University entry, should be finishing the course before QCAA submissions end in early November.
