Course: Gr. 9 Music – NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NEEDED
Course Code: AMI1O1: Semester 1, September 2020
Course Description:
Students will find music a source of enjoyment and personal satisfaction and will gain creative problem-solving
skills, individual and cooperative work habits, knowledge of themselves and others, a sense of personal responsibility, and
connections to their communities.
Performance techniques and an understanding of theory are of major importance for music students, and
Gr. 9 will set the foundations for these learning skills. Through informal, in-class presentations students will not only
develop their technique but also use music to communicate their aesthetic and personal values. By experiencing,
analysing, and commenting on the performances of others, students will have the opportunity to enhance their
understanding of the values of other musicians.
