Subject Overview:

In this subject, students will learn basic playing, maintenance and tuning techniques on at least one instrument from the string, woodwind, brass, voice, percussion or guitar families. They will also learn the fundamentals of group teaching techniques in string, woodwind, brass, voice, percussion or guitar. Students are not permitted to work on the same family of instruments as in earlier Group Music Skills subjects.

On completion of the subject, students should be able to:

  • apply the knowledge gained from performance to the teaching of these instruments.

Assessment: Performance of 10 minutes (50%); resource folio of 2000 words (30%); composition for three to five instruments of the family under study of three minutes duration (20%). 100% attendance is expected; less than 80% will result in a fail in the subject.
