Musical Roles

Researchers

In the role of researcher, students learn to investigate music in authentic ways, including aural, kinaesthetic and scholarly research. To do so, students will engage with primary and secondary sources to collect findings that inform their understanding of music and its place within history and culture. Students present their findings in musical ways and explain their understanding using accurate terminology.

Creators

In the role of creator, students make music by composing, improvising and arranging. Students learn about different ways of turning musical thoughts and ideas into musical pieces. Students learn to present their created work through recorded performances, digitally created tracks and appropriate forms of notation.

Performers

In the role of performer, students develop their skills in practical music-making and delivery, including interpretation, expression and technical proficiency. Students present their work, and the work of others, through recordings and videos of live performances.
