Level 2 Music
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: N. Baldwin.
This course develops three areas of your musicianship: Performance, Instrumentation and Musicology (the study of Music Works). You will decide whether you will perform as a soloist (2 pieces - 6 credits) and/or as a member of a group (1 piece - 4 credits). You must be learning from one of our itinerant teachers if you do not have a private teacher and must be prepared to perform in front of an audience.
Note that students can select this course if they have not taken MUS101 but must send a short video to Mr Baldwin on Teams of them performing on their chosen instrument to ensure they are at a suitable performance level to take this course.
