Aim

The aim of the Music Life Skills 11–12 Syllabus is consistent with the aim for Music in the Stage 6 Curriculum. The Music aim is provided below.

Music 11–12 enables students to develop, understand and use musical knowledge and skills for active engagement. Students experience the creative process through performing, listening, analysing and responding, and creating and composing. Students experience music for its aesthetic and cultural education, to become thoughtful, independent and creative musicians and to prepare for engagement in the contemporary musical world.
